I got an error `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._vendor.six'` after trying to run `pipenv install` on a new project. | |
At first I tried using the solution described here: | |
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6261#issuecomment-471438784 | |
I was using pyenv, so I did the following: | |
``` | |
rm -rf /home/user/.pyenv/versions/3.7.5/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip | |
# I also had to remove second pip directory, named something like pip-X.Y.Z.dist-info | |
python -m ensurepip | |
pip install --upgrade pip | |
``` | |
Then I got an error `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal.cli.main'` | |
Running `python -m pip install --upgrade pip` did not help. | |
Then I noticed that error logs mention pipenv's installation, not pyenv's one, so I did the following: | |
``` | |
pipenv --rm | |
pipenv --python 3.7.5 | |
# deleted both pip-related directories from pipenv virtual env, | |
/home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/dir_name-FnxKOSDE/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip | |
/home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/dir_name-FnxKOSDE/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip-X.Y.Z.dist-info | |
# then I ran this to update pipenv's pip | |
pipenv run python -m ensurepip | |
pipenv run python -m pip install --upgrade pip | |
pipenv install --dev | |
``` | |
And this worked. |
