Because the codes are too long, if I need to paste more, please tell me!

I've tried to upgrade pip, pip3 install midi-ddsp --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver, pip3 install --upgrade setuptools, easy_install -U setuptools and so on. But neither of them could work. Hope someone could help me, thanks!

Answer 1

I got this exact same error when trying to run:

pip install dotenv

After a lot of hunting around, I realised I got the package name wrong. The correct command was:

pip install python-dotenv

Maybe try googling "pip your-package-name" to find the PyPi page for your package and double check you are using the correct name? It is annoying that the pip error message was not more descriptive.

God thanks I was beating my head trying to figure out why I couldn't install dotenv – Distraught

I was having the same exact issue and this is what solved it. – Resource

Answer 2

I tried these from the answers of another question on StackOverflow but didn't work for me

pip install --user pygames
python -m pip install -u pygame --user

(How to solve the "pip install pygame" issue?)

But in the end, I tried along with --pre. This worked

pip install pygame --pre

Output:

PS C:\\Windows\\system32\> pip install pygame --pre
Collecting pygame
Using cached pygame-2.1.3.dev8-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl (10.6 MB)
Installing collected packages: pygame
Successfully installed pygame-2.1.3.dev8

I think --pre is used for The pip install command also supports a --pre flag that enables installation of pre-releases and development releases.

Answer 3

I had the same problem when I tried to import an old requirements.txt. scipy==1.5.1 I checked it from Pypi, changed to 1.9.1 in requirements.txt, and it works!

Answer 4

I had a similar problem on updating systemd-python with

python3.8 -m pip install --upgrade systemd-python

The error message began with these words:

 error: subprocess-exited-with-error
  
  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1

The lines following were quite telling:

Cannot find libsystemd or libsystemd-journal:
      
Package libsystemd was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Even though the package libsystemd was installed, Python did not find it. I have learnt that often you can solve this "not finding an installed package" by installing the corresponding dev package; in this case it is libsystemd-dev.

After installing the libsystemd-dev the command python3.8 -m pip install --upgrade systemd-python ran smoothly.
