Installing module in python Annoconda “python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1

Question

I am trying to install skdata module in Annoconda 2.2 verison using

conda install skdata

But its throwing error as follows,

Error: Package missing in current linux-32 channels: - skdata

Also its the same when I tried with

pip install skdata

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-ivxxkvsc/skdata/

I tried many solutions as

 python ez_setup.py
 pip install --upgrade setuptools 
 sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools

None of these helping me to get rid of the error this error :Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

 python --version
Python 3.4.4 :: Anaconda 2.2.0 (32-bit)

Any help is much appreciated

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and everytime I tried to launch Anaconda Navigator, it errored out. I tried everything but nothing seemed to work. Finally, when I was on the verge of giving up, I added the PATH to the pyqt5 and pyside folder and that did it for me. Everything got sorted, my package got installed and even Spyder started working. Took me 4 long days, but I finally got Anaconda and Spyder to work. Maybe you'll have some luck too.

There's not right now any skdata packages in the default conda channels or even on .

Pretty sure your the core issue is that skdata assume you're using python2, and you're trying to install in a python3 environment.

Try this:

conda create -y -n skdata-env python=2 scikit-learn pip
source activate skdata-env
pip install skdata
