有没有办法解决为什么我不能 pip install 任何超过 2.7 的 python 模块？

Question

I can't install any python modules that require python 2.7 or later. I have uninstalled everything that Mac would let me that was related to python 2, and I run everything on python 3. I am completely lost. I am on Mac and whenever I try to install a module(like praw) this pops up.

I used the command

pip install praw

ERROR: Package 'praw' requires a different Python: 2.7.16 not in '>=3.5' ```

Answer 1

Looks like the most recent version of praw requires Python 3.5 or greater.

The last version that supported Python 2.7 was praw 5.4.0 . If you're still using Python 2.7 and need this package, try running

pip install praw==5.4.0

If you're using Python 3.x, check to see if you're using the right version of pip . If you have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed on your system, you'll likely need to install system wide packages using pip3 instead if pip . In this case, try running

pip3 install praw

Alternatively, if you're targeting a specific Python interpreter (eg python3.7 , python3.8 , etc), and want to be certain that you are using the correct pip executable for your interpreter, you can run pip as a Python package via

python3 -m pip <args> 

where python3 can be replaced by any interpreter path.

Welcome to Stack Overflow Malachi! I believe you're looking for the command pip3 ( pip3 install praw ) to install Python 3 packages through pip. If you open your terminal and type man pip to get the manual page, there is a line that says:

pip is the command to use when installing packages for Python 2, while pip3 is the command to use when installing packages for Python 3.
