pip install unroll python setup py egg info failed with error code 1

Question

I'm new to Python and have been trying to install some packages with pip.

But pip install unroll gives me

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\MARKAN~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-wa7uco0k\unroll\

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

Your setuptools do not appear to be installed. Just follow the Installation Instructions from the PyPI website.

If it's already installed, try

pip install --upgrade setuptools

If it's already up to date, check that the module ez_setup is not missing. If it is, then

pip install ez_setup

Then try again

pip install unroll

If it's still not working, maybe pip didn't install/upgrade setup_tools properly so you might want to try

easy_install -U setuptools

And again

pip install unroll
