Not sure if it is an XCode thing or perhaps the version of Python.

Please update setup tools pip install -U setuptools

I have a seem question when i install minepy ,and then i try they way you did ,finally success,thank u here is my code sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel sudo pip3 install minepy

Great… I faced a similar issue while installing mysqlclient for python sudo pip3 install MySQL client

Issue Resolved

Using conda, mine was fixed by executing: conda install shapely If you are using pip try: pip install shapely

Can you try brew install python instead of use the Mac’s native one? There are some issues with it it would seem.

In order to connect to mysql from python (mine 3.7) (import mysql.connector), I used ‘pip install mysql-connector-python’. Worked for me

@gatesn Did this previously, so I did brew reinstall python

Here is the output of that:

  brew install python@2

Pip, setuptools, and wheel have been installed. To update them run

The did echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/sqlite/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot

I used pip install psycopg2-binary and it worked for me. thanks for the help guys.

with conda you can do this:

conda install py-xgboost

I had the same issue with pip. Executing: sudo python -m pip install scipy worked for me

Hmmm, tried sudo and sudo -H but pretty much the same:

sudo -H pip install -U setuptools
