I am trying to install a new Django project from git, I created a new virtual envt using python3(version: 3.8.5). When I try to install the required libraries in the requirements.txt, I get the following errors for cffi==1.11.5 package.

I have already followed some suggestions on stackoverflow but that doesn't seem to work. The things that I have tried already. Failed to install Python Cryptography package with PIP and setup.py

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev

I am using Ubuntu. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

I had this problem and I solved it by following:

I used sudo apt install --fix-broken to install broken packages in my Debian machine after that I used this command to install essential packages : sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

and after that, the problem was solved.

NOTE: if python-dev is not available for you you can try : sudo apt install python-dev-is-python3 or sudo apt install python3-dev

works for python 3.10 also by installing python3-dev. On debian bullseye at least – Minion 8/10, 2022 at 10:43

E: Package 'python-dev' has no installation candidate – Tilsit 16/5, 2023 at 9:13

for 'python-dev' has no installation candidate, replace it by 'python-dev-is-python3' – Aurify 16/7 at 14:46

I had this error installing on Python 3.11. The fix was to upgrade to the latest cffi (1.15.1 at the time of this writing).

I just installed libffi-dev with sudo apt-get install libffi-dev and it worked. – Cytochrome 28/4, 2023 at 19:58

I just had the same issue. I was trying to install djoser and the same thing happened. To fix it I just simply downgrade my python from 3.10 to 3.9

For anyone who experiences this in the future while building a docker image. After a lot of trial and error this is what finally worked:-

RUN python -m venv /py && \
   /py/bin/pip install --upgrade pip && \
   apk add --update alpine-sdk && \
   apk add --update --no-cache postgresql-client && \
   apk add --update --no-cache --virtual .tmp-build-deps \
      build-base gcc python3-dev postgresql-dev musl-dev libffi-dev openssl-dev cargo  && \
   /py/bin/pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt && \
   if [ $DEV = "true" ]; \
      then /py/bin/pip install -r /tmp/requirements.dev.txt ; \
   fi && \
   rm -rf /tmp && \
   apk del .tmp-build-deps && \
   adduser \
      --disabled-password \
      --no-create-home \
      django-user

For folks that are using Docker and getting this during build step,

Add

RUN apk add -u libffi-dev

This solved the issue for me
