pip install requirement fails

python django pip requirements.txt

Solution 1

I ran into this same error while using the native Python 2.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.6 to install django-imagekit. Some googling revealed this:

https://github.com/jezdez/django_compressor/issues/181

which suggested this:

pip install versiontools

and then I was able to install django-imagekit.

Solution 2

Same issue when I try to install MySQL-python

apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev python-dev

solved my problem.

Solution 3

I think you need to install the python-dev version. Hope that helps

I am facing an issue while trying to install the requirements for my django project.

I am unable to figure out why I'm getting this error.

Can someone lead me in the right direction?

To the downvoters, can you please explain the issues in my answer (which was correctly not accepted since a more precise one by @claymation has been provided) so that I can learn? Thanks.
