Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-xaum7z8f/supervisor/

Question

I'm setting up an existing project and when I am running pip install -r requirements.txt

After every dependency is installed it gives this error: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-d0j9czw9/supervisor/

This is the list of complete installation

I have seen similar questions but their solutions don't work on mine, so far I have tried these to resolve the issue

sudo apt-get install python-bs4

pip install scikit-learn

pip install neuralpy #this didn't get installed, it has a new error pasted below with *

pip install --upgrade setuptools 
pip install progressbar33

This might not be relevant but just for the background this is the error for installation neuralpy

Your requirements.txt contains [PyPI]: supervisor but requires v3.2.1 which is Python 2 compatible only.

To get past this, either:

1. Edit requirements.txt and remove the Supervisor version reference:

   • Replace the line supervisor==3.2.1 by e.g. supervisor==4.0.0 (which is the 1^st version that supports Python 3)

2. Switch to Python 2 (not recommended, as it reached its end of life and many 3^rd-party packages no longer support it)

There's a high chance (no matter which variant you'd choose), that additional changes are required, due to inter package version dependencies. You'll have to solve them all.

Probably, the simplest way would be to create a copy of requirements.txt, and remove all the package versions. So, each line like:

package==version

would simply become:

package

and pass the modified file as an argument to PIP (and thus let it download and install the newest available version for each package).

---

Update #0

You're quite in a pickle, as NeuralPy wasn't ported to Python 3. If you have a legacy project that needs all the packages, then you should switch to Python 2. Otherwise, you should check which ones you really need (and check for Python 3 compatible versions) and discard the others.

Comments

[Iain Shelvington]

Are you using Python3? Looks like neuralpy is not actively maintained and doesn't support Python3

[Habib Rehman]

yea i'm using python3 env here, well do i really need neuralpy here? is this causing the problem

[Habib Rehman]

@IainShelvington i dont actually understand this /supervisor/ thing at the end of the error link

[Iain Shelvington]

I don't know if you need it or not? You could look for another package to replace neuralpy or find a fork somewhere that supports Python3.

[Habib Rehman]

umm its not in the requirement.txt i'll put the file in the question as well, i was trying to install it because somewhere someone had same issue everyone had different end like they were not ending at "/supervisor/" so i am not sure if this is the solution for me

[Habib Rehman]

so i have tried both options, after removing the versions and doing requirement install by python3 env and going back to python2 and successfully installing the requirements, however now both setup giving me different errors on manage.py migrate, i'll post the new question in a bit but what would you suggest if i am able to run the requirement successfully should i continue with python3 or deal with it as legacy code?

[CristiFati]

Hmm, it depends on a variety of factors. The size of your code, the way it was written, the specifics of the packages it depends on, ... .As I mentioned the recommended way is to switch to Python 3 but there are (few) cases when that just doesn't worth it (too many changes and time spent with no visible effect in functionality).
