Install tweepy on Ubuntu

Question

So I followed the directions on the website to install tweepy with:

git clone https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git
cd tweepy
python setup.py install

Only modification I had to do was sudo python3 setup.py install for permission reasons and to install for python 3.4

I keep getting the error:

six 1.5.2 is already the active version in easy-install.pth

Installed /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/six-1.5.2-py3.4.egg error: Could not find required distribution six>=1.7.3

However if I type:

$ pip freeze | grep six
six==1.9.0. 
$ pip freeze | grep tweepy
tweepy==3.3.0

If I go to simply import tweepy on the my machine I get ImportError: No module names 'requests_oauthlib'. What step am I missing?

The install worked fine on my windows computer, but on my Ubuntu computer (not VM) I'm getting these errors.

Solution

From what I found out, in my case since tweepy was installed under python 3.4 but somehow the oauthlib was not, I ran $ sudo python3 -m pip install requests requests_oauthlib which fixed the error and I was able to import tweepy without error.

It is possible that pip3 could have done it originally without errors as deathangel908 said, but I didn't test it since the previous line fixed the issue.

For general purpose:

Python 3.x

sudo pip3 install tweepy

Python 2.x

sudo pip install tweepy
