I had the same error with pipenv and finally found the problem. When installing pipenv I used pip instead of pip3 so pipenv was installed using Python 2.7 and not 3.6.

Steps to reproduce:

pip install --user pipenv
pipenv --python 3.6
pipenv install connexion
# bails out with an error :-(

The error does not occur when installing pipenv using pip3:

pip uninstall pipenv
pip3 install --user pipenv
pipenv --python 3.6
pipenv install connexion
# no errors, horray! :-)

Maybe pipenv should produce a warning when it is running using Python 2.7 and tries to install packages for a Python 3.x environment?

Ok I’ve resolved this on two of my machines and have an idea what’s happening.

Fix:

sudo apt-get install python3.4-dev

Why this may be a fix:

When installing from a Pipfile a deeper error with installing bcolz is swallowed. That error points to missing Python header files.

Is it possible that that error leaves a tmp directory in a locked state which gives rise to the error code 1 aka permissions error?
