Running the following command gives me the following error:
pip install pygame
Error Stack:

from typing import List, Optional
ImportError: No module named 'typing'
Running this line in a Mac terminal fixed it for me:
/usr/local/opt/python#3.9/bin/python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade pip
I had the same issue. I also first tried the pip3 install pygame which was previously mentioned, before running this line. You may have to do that first. For the individual who said to try
pip install typing
that line of code will simply produce the same error. To fix it, you have to use to the aforementioned command(s).
I also ran into the same problem, because I made the foolish mistake of upgrading pip as suggested by Python.
I fixed this by downloading get_pip.py for python3.4 at https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/3.4/get-pip.py and running it:
python get_pip.py
It will automatically download the latest compatible version of pip (19.1.1 in this case).
Try to:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
Do the following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get upgrade
If there is a problem, do:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt-get upgrade
If there is still a problem, remove and recreate your venv. And Reinstall your requirements:
rm -rf venv
python3.9 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
I encountered the same error on Ubuntu 20.04 when using python3.9, I tried to run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade.
The output advised me to run sudo apt --fix-broken install, which had solved my problem and python3.9 is running fine now.
I have also met this problem. Any command that starts with pip have the same error, ImportError: No module named 'typing'.
Finally, python -m pip install typing solved it.
I had this error using pip because my Ubuntu installation with Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 were crossed using the versions and pip.
My solution was to uninstall Python 2.7 and pip 2.7. I also uninstalled Python 3.5 and pip 3.
I then installed Python 3.7 using these directions: Installing the latest Python 3.7 on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04
I'm not sure if uninstalling 3.5 and adding 3.7 is necessary. You may just be able to remove 2.7 and be good, but this is what worked for me.
Try this one:
pip3 install pygame
It looks like you are importing from the package 'typing' but you do not have it installed. Try installing the package:
pip install typing
I have installed pip for python 3.6 on Ubuntu 14. After I run
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
to install pip3, it works very well. However, after installation, when I am trying to run
pip3 install packagename
to install a new package, something strange occurs:
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1479, in <module>
register_loader-type(importlib_bootstrap.SourceFileLoader, DefaultProvider)
AttributeError: module "importlib._bootstrap" has no attribute "SourceFileLoader"
It seems that I did nothing wrong, and I really cannot figure out the reason.
If you're getting this error running pip install dotenv, this is because the package is called python-dotenv not dotenv.
This worked for me:
sudo pip install python-dotenv
Faced the same problem. I think this is because python3.6 and pip3 were installed from different sources.
I suggest using python's inbuilt facility to install pip i.e
python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade
This should install pip3 and pip3.x where x in python3.x.
Same works for python2 also.
Tried to install Tensorflow in venv on Windows 10 machine with python 3.8 and got the same issue.
What helped for me was:
pip install setuptools --upgrade
I had the same problem on my ubuntu 18.04 with python 3.6. None of the above methods helped, but this one solved the problem:
pip3 uninstall setuptools
I had the same error whatever I asked to pip. I gave a look to this page: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/
That line is the one that solved my problem:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install setuptools --upgrade
This command solved my issue. It fixed my problem.
When updating from python3.4 to python3.6 on ubuntu 14.04. The following solved me:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | python3
If you face this issue in anaconda environment, simply upgrade setuptools using the following:
conda install -c conda-forge setuptools
That's because you are using an old version of setuptools, check up this issue.
I met the same problem, this is the key:
curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3
I had faced the same issue on Ubuntu 19.10 and now I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 and faced the issue again. This issue is due to broken pip3. So whenever you enter pip3 and hit enter it will show the same error. So instead of using "pip3 uninstall setuptools" use the below code
python3 -m pip uninstall setuptools
It resolved my issue 3rd time
I am facing the same problem, which is solved by downloading the source files of the setuptools and installing the module manually.
The setuptools can be downloaded here:
https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/
After downloading, unzip the package first, then cd to the directory and run
python setup.py install --user
For me the error happened while trying to create a virtual env with python 3.8:
sudo virtualenv venv -ppython3.8
And after trying all the answers here, finally the problem solved by installing the new version of virtualenv (20.0.7):
sudo pip3 install virtualenv
I encountered this error message triggered by a slightly different situation which I'll mention here for anyone who finds this.
This same error also occurs when installing the distribute Python package (which is currently just a compatibility layer in front of setuptools) in Python 3.6 or newer.
In my specific situation I discovered this as I was using pyzmail which has been somewhat abandoned and depends on distribute.

I had the same issue when I tried to install the Slate package in Windows 10, Python 3.7.4 version:

The instruction that generated the error:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>python -m pip install slate
The instruction that worked:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>python -m pip install https://github.com/timClicks/slate/archive/master.zip
I had the same problem with my cloud computer. If all above didn't work for you don't worry. Here's how I resolved it:
Download the pip file (pip-version.tar.gz) from:
https://pypi.org/project/pip/#files
For cloud, use this
curl https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/8e/76/66066b7bc71817238924c7e4b448abdb17eb0c92d645769c223f9ace478f/pip-20.0.2.tar.gz --output pip.tar.gz
Extract the content of the file and cd into the directory.
Run the following in the directory
python3 setup.py install --user
You should have pip3 working without errors.
pip3 install setuptools --upgrade
This also cured the issue on Python 3.9 running on Windows 10 and even on a custom Docker image.
I was having the same issue while using docker-compose. This exact error can be caused by not being the root user. Running the same commands with sudo fixed it for me. I don't not have setup-tools installed, and I'm running pip3. My issue was that IntelliJ didn't have sudo rights, so i had to do it from the terminal.
Above solutions were not working in my case for Ubuntu 20
If you run the following command:
sudo apt install python3-setuptools
Then you might get the result:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python3-setuptools is already the newest version (45.2.0-1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
But to actually solve it and re-install setuptools try following commands:
sudo apt download python3-setuptools
sudo dpkg -i python3-setuptools_45.2.0-1_all.deb
Note: Change the version of the python package that is downloaded

Mine looked pretty similar, but for some reason I had a python installation in my home directory .local folder.
I did some of the other answers in this thread to ensure I had good local copy of python, then did:
rm -rf ~/.local
Just go inside the /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/, first copy setuptools file somewhere and then delete the setuptools. Everything will be okay for deleting you can use:
sudo rm -r setuptools
for copying
sudo cp -r setuptools /...Desktop/
After that if it gives errors just:
sudo pip3 install setuptools==3.8.1
to download again.

Any ideas?
You can instead use the mysqlclient package as a drop-in replacement for MySQL-python. It is a fork of MySQL-python with added support for Python 3.
I had luck with simply
pip install mysqlclient
in my python3.4 virtualenv after
sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
which is obviously specific to ubuntu/debian, but I just wanted to share my success :)
In Python 3, ConfigParser has been renamed to configparser for PEP 8 compliance. It looks like the package you are installing does not support Python 3.
Here is a code that should work in both Python 2.x and 3.x
Obviously you will need the six module, but it's almost impossible to write modules that work in both versions without six.
try:
import configparser
except:
from six.moves import configparser
pip install configparser
sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py
Then try to install the MYSQL-python again.
That Worked for me
MySQL-python is not supported on python3 instead of this you can use mysqlclient
If you are on fedora/centos/Red Hat install following package
yum install python3-devel
pip install mysqlclient
Additional info:
Python 2x
import ConfigParser
Python 3x
import configparser
Compatibility of Python 2/3 for configparser can be solved simply by six library
from six.moves import configparser
If you are using CentOS, then you need to use
yum install python34-devel.x86_64
yum groupinstall -y 'development tools'
pip3 install mysql-connector
pip install mysqlclient
I was having the same problem. Turns out, I needed to install python3 devel on my centos. First, you need to search for the package that is compatible with your system.
yum search python3 | grep devel
Then, install the package as:
yum install -y python3-devel.x86_64
Then, install mysqlclient from pip
pip install mysqlclient
Do pip3 install PyMySQL and then pip3 install mysqlclient.
Worked for me
I got further with Valeres answer:
pip install configparser
sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py
Then try to install the MYSQL-python again. That Worked for me
I would suggest to link the file instead of copy it. It is save to update. I linked the file to /usr/lib/python3/ directory.
For me the following command worked:
sudo python3 -m pip install mysql-connector
Try this solution which worked fine for me.
Basically it's to reinstall/upgrade to latest version of mysql from brew, and then installing mysqlclient or MySQL-Python from global pip3 instead of virtualenv pip3.
Then accessing the virtualenv and successfully install mysqlclient or MySQL-Python.
I still have this issue, so I go to /usr/lib/python3.8 and type as sudoer:
cp configparser.py ConfigParser.py
You may have another python version than 3.8.
Following #MaciejNg I tried making a copy, which didn't work:
sudo cp ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/configparser.py ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ConfigParser.py
Because configparser.py and ConfigParser.py are identical, I renamed the file:
sudo mv ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/configparser.py ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ConfigParser.py
how about checking the version of Python you are using first.
import six
if six.PY2:
import ConfigParser as configparser
else:
import configparser
I run kali linux- Rolling and I came across this problem ,when I tried running cupp.py in the terminal, after updating to python 3.6.0. After some research and trial I found that changing ConfigParser to configparser worked for me but then I came across another issue.
config = configparser.configparser()
AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'configparser'
After a bit more research I realised that for python 3 ConfigParser is changed to configparser but note that it has an attribute ConfigParser().
I was getting the same error on Mac OS 10, Python 3.7.6 & Django 2.2.7. I want to use this opportunity to share what worked for me after trying out numerous solutions.
Steps
Installed Connector/Python 8.0.20 for Mac OS from link
Copy current dependencies into requirements.txt file, deactivated the current virtual env, and deleted it using;
create the file if not already created with; touch requirements.txt
copy dependency to file; python -m pip3 freeze > requirements.txt
deactivate and delete current virtual env; deactivate && rm -rf <virtual-env-name>
Created another virtual env and activated it using; python -m venv <virtual-env-name> && source <virtual-env-name>/bin/activate
Install previous dependencies using; python -m pip3 install -r requirements.txt
base on your OS is centos use python3
if you don't known where is configparser.py or ConfigParser.py
pip3 install configparser
find / -name "configparser.py"
cd /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages(base on your environment )
cp configparser.py ConfigParser.py
solved the issue
Kindly to see what is /usr/bin/python pointing to
if it is pointing to python3 or higher change to python2.7
This should solve the issue.
I was getting install error for all the python packages. Abe Karplus's solution & discussion gave me the hint as to what could be the problem.
Then I recalled that I had manually changed the /usr/bin/python from python2.7 to /usr/bin/python3.5, which actually was causing the issue. Once I reverted the same. It got solved.
This worked for me
cp /usr/local/lib/python3.5/configparser.py /usr/local/lib/python3.5/ConfigParser.py
I'm having a strange problem while trying to install the Python library zenlib, using its setup.py file. When I run the setup.py file, I get an import error, saying
ImportError: No module named Cython.Distutils`
but I do have such a module, and I can import it on the python command line without any trouble. Why might I be getting this import error?
I think that the problem may have to do with the fact that I am using Enthought Python Distribution, which I installed right beforehand, rather than using the Python 2.7 that came with Ubuntu 12.04.
More background:
Here's exactly what I get when trying to run setup.py:
enwe101#enwe101-PCL:~/zenlib/src$ sudo python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 4, in <module>
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
ImportError: No module named Cython.Distutils
But it works from the command line:
>>> from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
>>>
>>> from fake.package import noexist
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named fake.package
Note the first import worked and the second throws an error. Compare this to the first few lines of setup.py:
#from distutils.core import setup
from setuptools import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
import os.path
I made sure that the Enthought Python Distribution and not the python that came with Ubuntu is what is run by default by prepending my bash $PATH environment variable by editing ~/.bashrc, adding this as the last line:
export PATH=/usr/local/epd/bin:$PATH
and indeed which python spits out /usr/local/epd/bin/python... not knowing what else to try, I went into my site packages directory, (/usr/local/epd/lib/python2.7/site-packages) and give full permissions (r,w,x) to Cython, Distutils, build_ext.py, and the __init__.py files. Probably silly to try, and it changed nothing.
Can't think of what to try next!? Any ideas?
Install Cython:
pip install cython
Your sudo is not getting the right python. This is a known behaviour of sudo in Ubuntu. See this question for more info. You need to make sure that sudo calls the right python, either by using the full path:
sudo /usr/local/epd/bin/python setup.py install
or by doing the following (in bash):
alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH'
sudo python setup.py install
For python3 use
sudo apt-get install cython3
For python2 use
sudo apt-get install cython
Details can be read at this
Run
which python
Thats the path to the python that your system has defaulted too
then go to #tiago's method of:
sudo <output of which python> setup.py install
I only got one advice for you : Create a virtualenv. This will ensure you have only one version of python and all your packages installed locally (and not on your entire system).
Should be one of the solutions.
In the CLI-python, import sys and look what's inside sys.path
Then try to use export PYTHONPATH=whatyougot
Running the following commands resolved the issue for me in ubuntu 14.04:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt-get install libsystemd-daemon-dev
sudo pip install cython
This link helped me: https://github.com/trezor/python-trezor/issues/40
Ran into this again in modern times. The solution was simple:
pip uninstall cython && pip install cython
Read like a thousand of these threads and finally got it for Python 3. (replace pip with pip3 if you have that kind of installation, and run pip uninstall cython if you have tried other solutions before running any of these)
Mac:
brew install cython
pip install --upgrade cython
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install cython3 python-dev
pip install --upgrade cython
Windows (must have conda, and MinGW already in path)
conda install cython
conda install --upgrade cython
That is easy.
You could try install cython package first.
It will upgrade your easy_install built in python.
I had dependency from third party library on Cython, didn't manage to build the project on Travis due to the ImportError. In case someone needs it - before installing requirements.txt run this command:
pip install Cython --install-option="--no-cython-compile"
Installing GCC also might help.
Just install Cython from
http://cython.org/#download
and install it using this command
sudo python setup.py install
Then run the command
sudo python -c 'import Cython.Distutils'
and it will be installed and the error message will disappear.
Whenever i try to use pip I get an error. For exampple:
$ sudo pip install gevent-websocket

raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pip==0.8.1
I feel tempted to change the value of into pip==0.8.2.. but I dont feel dealing with the consequences of 'hacking' up my installation...
I'm running python 2.7 and pip is at version 0.8.2.
I find this problem in my MacBook, the reason is because as #Stephan said, I use easy_install to install pip, and the mixture of both py package manage tools led to the pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound problem.
The resolve is:
easy_install --upgrade pip
Remember: just use one of the above tools to manage your Py packages.
I replaced 0.8.1 in 0.8.2 in /usr/local/bin/pip and everything worked again.
__requires__ = 'pip==0.8.2'
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(
load_entry_point('pip==0.8.2', 'console_scripts', 'pip')()
)
I installed pip through easy_install which probably caused me this headache.
I think this is how you should do it nowadays..
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential
$ sudo pip install --upgrade pip
$ sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv
I had this issue when I was using homebrew. Here is the solution from Issue #26900
python -m pip install --upgrade --force pip
Try re-installing with the get-pip script:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3 get-pip.py
This is sourced from the pip Github page, and worked for me.
If you're on CentOS make sure you have the YUM package "python-setuptools" installed
yum install python-setuptools
Fixed it for me.
The root of the problem are often outdated scripts in the bin (Linux) or Scripts (Windows) subdirectory. I'll explain this using problem I encountered myself as an example.
I had virtualenv version 1.10 installed in my user site-packages (the fact it's in user site-packages not sytem site-packages is irrelevant here)
pdobrogost#host:~$ which virtualenv
/home/users/pdobrogost/.local/bin/virtualenv
pdobrogost#host:~$ virtualenv --version
1.10
After I upgraded it to version 1.11 I got the following error:
pdobrogost#host:~$ virtualenv --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/users/pdobrogost/.local/bin/virtualenv", line 5, in <module>

import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(
load_entry_point('virtualenv==1.10', 'console_scripts', 'virtualenv')()
)
There, we see that virtualenv script was not updated and still requires previously installed version 1.10 of virtualenv.
Now, reinstalling virtualenv like this
pdobrogost#host:~$ pip install --user --upgrade virtualenv
Downloading/unpacking virtualenv from https://pypi.python.org/packages/py27/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.11.1-py27-none-any.whl#md5=265770b61de41d34d2e9fdfddcdf034c

Cleaning up...
does not help (neither pip install --user --upgrade --force-reinstall virtualenv) because script /home/users/pdobrogost/.local/bin/virtualenv is left unchanged.
The only way I could fix this was by manually removing virtualenv* scripts from /home/users/pdobrogost/.local/bin/ folder and installing virtualenv again. After this, newly generated scripts refer to the proper version of the package:
pdobrogost#host:~$ virtualenv --version
1.11
I was able to resolve this like so:
$ brew update
$ brew doctor
$ brew uninstall python
$ brew install python --build-from-source # took ~5 mins
$ python --version # => Python 2.7.9
$ pip install --upgrade pip
I'm running w/ the following stuff (as of Jan 2, 2015):
OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.1
$ brew -v
Homebrew 0.9.5
$ python --version
Python 2.7.9
$ ipython --version
2.2.0
$ pip --version
pip 6.0.3 from /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-6.0.3-py2.7.egg (python 2.7)
$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
I was facing the similar problem in OSx. My stacktrace was saying
raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: setuptools>=11.3
Then I did the following
sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
This solved the problem for me. Hope someone will find this useful.
On Mac OS X (MBP), the following (taken from another answer found herein) resolved my issues:
C02L257NDV33:~ jjohnson$ brew install pip

Homebrew provides pip via: `brew install python`. However you will then
have two Pythons installed on your Mac, so alternatively you can:
sudo easy_install pip
C02L257NDV33:~ jjohnson$ sudo easy_install pip
Clearly the root cause here is having a secondary method by which to install python (in my case Homebrew). Hopefully, the people responsible for the pip script can remedy this issue since its still relevant 2 years after first being reported on Stack Overflow.
I had this problem because I installed python/pip with a weird ~/.pydistutils.cfg that I didn't remember writing. Deleted it, reinstalled (with pybrew), and everything was fine.
In my case (sam problem, but other packages) there was no version dependency. A sequence of pip uninstall and pip insstall did help.
