pip install mod_wsgi issue

install is failing and cant figure out why. ive spent a lot of time researching this issue and half of the people are saying the apache24 folder is in the wrong place, which ive double checked its correct. and the other half say its because windows sdk tools are not installed, which ive double checked they are.

I can't pip install Jupyter Notebook on Python3.9 [duplicate]

This is the error that I get when I try to pip install notebook.

Still can't seem to get jupyter installed, can someone please help with this? Thanks!

Getting this error when trying to install Jupyter-Notebook using pip install
I am using Python 3.9 and pip 20.2.3. I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable - 14.27.29112
Need help to get this resolved.

Try this:
python -m pip install jupyter notebook

I installed reinstalled visual c 2019 build tools via the installer from ms and then I upgraded pip using
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
after that it works. I am on python 3.7 installed via chocolatey

Based on my Experience I think Python 3.9 isn't supported yet for Jupyter, So what I did is I install the older version which is the Python 3.8.

Have an error " error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory"

Then as there's error shows in the middle of the error mesg:

MYSQLdb with Python 3.6

I'm having a very hard time installing MYSQLdb under Python 3.6. I've been fighting with this for about a day now and was hoping someone had a fix. Note I am running Windows 10, MY SQL Workbench 6.3, PyCharm 2016.3.2, and Python 3.6 as already mentioned. To begin with, when trying to execute code in PyCharm which includes an import of MYSQLdb, I'd get an error saying no module found. So, I of course tried to pip install basically every binary possible. For most, I'd get the following:

So, I even then tried installing the unofficial binary for 3.6 available at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy
This installed fine, but still no luck when executing in PyCharm.
Next, I went into preferences=>project interpreter in PyCharm and tried to install MYSQLdb directly from there. With that, I get this other error:
Collecting MySQLdb
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement MySQLdb (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for MySQLdb
From my research this seems to happen a lot when using new releases of Python. Does anyone know of a workaround or when 3.6 will be supported?

try to use sqlalchemy that is fully suported for many ODBC driver. Insted of using mysqldb, mysqlconnector is better in python3.x. I migrated a project from sqlite to mysql server and work fine in python3.6
sqlalchemy offer a solution for connecting with another ODBC.

I had this same issue.
I followed the advice of another answer and got to SQLAlchemy using the pip below:
pip install SQLAlchemy
I have been unable to play with it yet, but it did install without error, so here is hoping!

I had this issue before and I found out that when using python 3.6 you just need to install mysqlclient:
1 - create a folder and than a virtualenv (virtualenv myvenv --python python3)
2 - Install the django version you want (pip install django==1.9.3)
3- Install mysqlclient (pip install mysqlclient)
If you go inside myvenv folder/lib/python3.6/site-packages you will see that MySQLdb module will be there.
