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 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:
AttributeError: module 'importlib._bootstrap' has no attribute 'SourceFileLoader'
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.
I'm getting this error when trying to install any package with pip. I have two pip instances, one with Python 2.7 and other with Python 3.
Could not import setuptools which is required to install from a source distribution.

Thanks in advance.
sudo apt-get purge python-pkg-resources

Do this it will work

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to contribute since I ran into this issue and this thread kept coming up in the results.
Note: This was on MacOS 10.12. My shell is zsh and I already have brew installed
First I ran each of these commands
brew install python
brew install python3
This will either install it or you'll receive an "already installed" message as I did.
Next, run the following command
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
And last:
sudo python get-pip.py
Final note: for my install to work, I ended up having to run the command with pip3
sudo pip3 install nameofinstallhere
Not sure whether it is installation issue or packege but it seems like you will not be able to import any package of them, if you have installed python perfectly then
try this commands
step 1 :
$which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
step 2 :
/usr/local/bin/pip install django
or any of your package name.
I am considering ubuntu(OS)
You can try the following command; it has worked for me:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-setuptools
I'm trying to generate .docx files using Python. I searched the web and posts here and found a module:
https://github.com/mikemaccana/python-docx/blob/master/README.markdown
It says to install using easy_install or pip, which I have no idea how to do. I went to python website to install pip from the instructions given on python documentation:
http://guide.python-distribute.org/installation.html
So I downloaded and followed directions:
$ tar xzf pip-0.7.2.tar.gz
$ cd pip-0.7.2
$ python setup.py install
But when I do python setup.py install, I get error message:
Johns-MacBook-Pro:pip-0.7.2 John$ python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 2, in <module>
from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools
Can someone please help me install step by step for a newb? Thanks in advance for all of your help!
Pip can install straight from the git repository
You just have to tell him to use git and give him the URL of the git rep
pip install git+git://github.com/mikemaccana/python-docx.git
You will also need to install lxml (as written in the setup.py) and PIL (as you will discover when you try to import the module).
pip install PIL
pip install lxml
pip install python-dateutil
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.
I tried to import the module but i am getting the error shown below:-
sh-3.2# python -V
Python 2.6.4
sh-3.2# python -c "import httplib2"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named httplib2
How to fix this Error?
httplib2 is not part of the Python standard library. It's an external package you must install yourself.
using pip:
pip install httplib2
You need to install the httplib2 package from your package manager.
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install python-httplib2
I suppose you could start by installing httplib2.
Download it?
Make sure it's on your PYTHONPATH
Suppose you can start by installing it like :
$ pip install httplib2
you can try the same thing with easy install too, or if you wanted to install in locally and not over the network then go to httplib2 github .
Clone/download it to your computer. Now go to the downloaded httplib2 folder location and run the setup.py like this :
$ setup.py install
If on windows, make sure you have successfully installed python first and have set the environment variables path successfully.
This is a common command to install any module using pip or by locally downloading and looking for the foldert location>setup.py file and trying the second command mentioned above.
FOR WINDOWS:
if python is installed & set as environment variable
python -m pip install httplib2
