I want to install matplotlib on my new mac but am unable to because six is a "distutils installed project", what does this mean? I typed the following:
sudo -H python -m pip install -U matplotlib
which first throws all the usual jargon of "caching this; downloading that" And then, BOOM there it is; the error:
Cannot uninstall 'six'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
In order to understand the error you have here, you'll need to understand what distutils are; They, in short, are ways to distribute and install Python extensions and packages. You can learn more about them here. six is a way to wrap differences between Python 2 and 3.
That being said you can simply add --ignore-installed to your parameters like the following.
sudo -H python -m pip install -U matplotlib --ignore-installed

I am trying to install PyAudio in my MacBook Air M1 for a while, tried all the possible ways to my knowledge and read the compleate official documentaion even i cant find the solution
xcode-select --install
brew remove portaudio
brew install portaudio
pip3 install pyaudio
Got an solution from an expert that find the portaudio location and include it while installing pyAudio, But searched my enterier hardisk and I cant find the brew/portaudio files.
Please help me!
Find out the path of where portaudio is installing. Use that path to while installing pyaudio. For example, if it is in /opt/homebrew, you can use pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/opt/homebrew/include' --global-option='-L/opt/homebrew/lib' pyaudio.
Most likely the above command will solve your issue since it solved mine on an M1 Mac!

I'm trying to install the requests library so I can make HTTP requests. I've tried looking for resources online but I can't seem to find tutorials for installing this library on MacOS.
In general, there's an executable file called pip inside the bin folder where you python is. (it might be called pip3 or something similar, depending on your python version and the distribution you are using). Put that on your system path, and then simply
pip install requests
I would personally go with pipenv (install it using pip install pipenv --user) and then run pipenv install requests in your source directory, to avoid conflicts between different projects.
You can use pip to install requests library. Try these steps to setup pip and install requests library in macOS:
sudo easy_install pip
pip install requests

I untarred this: python-pip-1.5.6-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
tar -xf python-pip-1.5.6-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
and it made a usr folder
with subfolders bin, lib, and share
inside bin is pip, pip3, and pip3.4
How the heck am I supposed to run makepkg?
I don't know how to install this.
pacman -S python-pip should also work.
The current version in the repository is 1.5.6-2
NOTE: for python 2.7 you would need to install python2-pip instead of python-pip.
Does the instruction here work for you? https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html
so basically:
curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py

I am using Ubuntu and not able to install purl packages. I use pip and the github unstable version to install, but none works and it says permission denied.
How do I install purl package from Pypi. I need help.
Also, how are the different ways of installing packages like these other than apt-get and pip?
For installing system-wide packages, you need root rights, so try sudo pip install purl. You could also use virtualenv so you don't need to be root:
$ virtualenv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv)$ pip install purl
There's no purl on Ubuntu official repository, so you can install it by pip, using sudo command:
sudo pip install purl

I try to install mercurial on a centos vps-server with "yum install mercurial" but it says it needs python2.4 in order to install it. I have python2.6 installed. Is there a way to get past this?
You should not have messed with your system Python --
it is incrdible you can still login at all. Python 2.4 is ancient, but it is what is used in a lot of CentOS versions in the wild - what is installed by it's package management. Maybe you had installed a ",meta package" taht upgrades the system Python to 2.6, along with everything that depends on it (yum included).
Anyway, 2.4 would be sub-optimal to install mercurial.
Since your system is a mess already, you can simply easy_install mercurial into your system Python instead of trying to use yum for it.
"sudo easy_install mercurial" -- if you don't have easy_install, try "yum install setuptools" first. If this does not work, search on pipy.python.org for setuptools, install it manually - -and think seriously on rebuilding this machinne - you will have to do it soon.
