Error in installing newspaper3k package via pip

Question

I am trying to install newspaper3k . I am doing all accordingly to the installation guide

sudo apt-get install python-dev

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev

sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev

pip3 install newspaper

While running pip install newspaper I am getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 17, in <module>

  File "/tmp/pip_build_ovd/nltk/setup.py", line 23, in <module>

    distribute_setup.use_setuptools()

    raise IOError('Could not build the egg.')

OSError: Could not build the egg.

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_ovd/nltk

I have never faced with errors of this type. What is the way to fix it and what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

从github安装对我有帮助。

pip3 install git+https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper.git

Answer 2

You're installing the wrong package. It's actually:

pip3 install newspaper3k

Answer 3

Some clarification:

 pip3 install newspaper3k

and

pip3 install git+https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper.git

are both for Python 3. If you want the Python 2.7 version you can use

pip install newspaper

However I kept getting the problem described by the OP. The problem is that the Python 2.7 version explicitly lists the version numbers of the required libraries. To fix this download the file from

https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/n/newspaper/newspaper-0.0.9.8.tar.gz#md5=331375b5a941e038a73827ea014d4c21

Unzip it into a folder. Then open the requirements.txt file and change all the == to >= . This will allow you to use the latest version of dependencies. Optionally you can only change this for the dependencies you're having a problem with, but then pip will uninstall your current versions and install the older versions. However, if newspaper ends up with errors with the new versions this might fix it.

Answer 4

I think that on pypi "newspaper" is the python2 branch. Try: pip install newspaper3k

Answer 5

我正在使用Anaconda，对我有用的方法是

conda install -c conda-forge newspaper3k
