pip bug when installing steem-python in virtualenv

in #utopian-io • 7 years ago (edited)

Expected behavior

In a virtulenv of python 3.6, steem-python should be installed easily after running 'pip3 install steem'. Then I can use steempy CLI correctly.

Actual behavior

There is no error in the whole installation process. However, when I run steempy, an error occured.

pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (toml 0.9.3 (/store/Environment/steem_env/lib/python3.6/site-packages), Requirement.parse('toml==0.9.3.1'), {'steem'})

It seems that pip recognizes toml 0.9.3.1 as toml 0.9.3, but steem-python requires the package to be 0.9.3.1.

How to reproduce

1.create a virtualenv with

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.6/bin/python3.6 steem_env

2.activate the virtualenv

source steem_env/bin/activate

3.install steem-python with pip

pip3 install steem

4.run steempy

steempy

5.(optional) run 'pip3 list' to see the version of toml

pip3 list
  • Browser: No
  • Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04

    Yes, I have similar problem. There was posted solution, apparently requirements.txt file need to be edited but in my case I don't have that file in site-packages folder. (also using Linux, but I'm using Python native virtual environment)

    Or I'm just to inexperienced. I guess I will just have to wait until they fix this.

        Thanks. I tried that fix already and in my case it didn't help.
        But I got it working with this fix, I think I have read that it is @Furion's steem-python library:

        pip install -U git+git://github.com/Netherdrake/steem-python

          I think renaming the 0.9.3 egg file to 0.9.3.1 may work, but the inofficial library is a new solution. Thanks.
