无法在Google Colab上安装functools32

Question

I'm new to ML/DL and using google colab as my DL tool. I'm currently trying to setup tensorflow/HED on google colab. When I ran pip install -r requirements.txt , I got an error like

Collecting functools32==3.2.3.post2 (from -r requirements.txt (line 20))
Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/c5/60/6ac26ad05857c601308d8fb9e87fa36d0ebf889423f47c3502ef034365db/functools32-3.2.3-2.tar.gz  
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-zhhba6da/functools32/"

I've updated setuptools to the newest version ( Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (40.8.0) ). It however doesn't seem solve the issue.

Google colab uses python 3.6.7.

Answer 1

functools32 is a backport of the Python 3.2 functools module for use on Python versions 2.7. It shouldn't be installed for Python 3.6.
