Error installing django-nvd3

Question

I have the following error when executing the following command pip3 install django-nvd3

Collecting django-nvd3
  Using cached django-nvd3-0.9.7.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/rs/30thcgbd2334t5kfx1n3fj5w0000gn/T/pip-build-g97vw973/django-nvd3/

Why is this happening?

Answer 1

It looks as if you are hitting this issue . It looks as if it has been fixed , but there hasn't been a release since then.

You could try installing the master branch. This might be a good idea anyway, since 0.9.7 was released in 2015.

Alternatively, or you could try setting LANG , as suggested in this similar issue for a different project.

LANG=en_US.UTF8 pip3 install django-nvd3

检查setuptools是否正确安装：

pip install --upgrade setuptools
