zipline: Unable to Install on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.2

Dear Zipline Maintainers,

Before I tell you about my issue, let me describe my environment:

Environment

Operating System: Mac OS Mojave 10.14.2
Python Version: 3.7.1
Python Bitness: 64
How did you install Zipline: (pip, conda, or other (please explain)):

Step 1: virtualenv venv
Step 2: source venv/bin/activate
Step 3: pip3 install cython numpy
Step 4: pip3 install zipline

Python packages: Cython==0.29.6 numpy==1.16.2

Now that you know a little about me, let me tell you about the issue I am having:

Description of Issue

What did you expect to happen? I was hoping to see Zipline installed without any errors.
What happened instead? I over 67,000 lines of messages, followed by an error message in red, as below: Command "/Users/prasant/Documents/Programming/Python/Trading/venv/bin/python3.7 /Users/prasant/Documents/Programming/Python/Trading/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip install --ignore-installed --no-user --prefix /private/var/folders/xx/hbg55ynx52d_1qpy5npcb0m40000gn/T/pip-build-env-87ox9ql3/overlay --no-warn-script-location --no-binary :none: --only-binary :none: -i https://pypi.org/simple -- wheel setuptools Cython "numpy==1.9.3; python_version=='3.5'" "numpy==1.12.1; python_version=='3.6'" "numpy==1.13.1; python_version>='3.7'"" failed with error code 1 in None

Here is how you can reproduce this issue on your machine:

Reproduction Steps

virtualenv venv
`source venv/bin/activate’
pip3 install cython numpy
pip3 install zipline …

What steps have you taken to resolve this already?

I have also tried to install this outside of the VirtualEnv.

Honestly, I have never seen a module as difficult to install as zipline. Only works with a specific version of python (3.5) and specific version of conda (4.6.11). I think I have it installed, but I still can’t run the basic buyapple.py backrest to test it out. I appreciate all the developers work, but this is very frustrating.

And what about zipline_live, does that only work with python 2.7?

If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that’s the version you’ve asked for. When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow not available for the python version you are constrained to. Your current python version is (python=3.5). Note that conda will not change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify that.

The following specifications were found to be incompatible with each other:

Can anyone shed any light on this for we poor Mac users?

Using conda + python3.6 worked for me.

liavkoren on Sep 15, 2020

after going in circles with pip I installed it using conda in a few seconds. First I used a python 3.7 env, within a few seconds an error message popped up that clearly said “in plain text” need to have env lower than 3.6 so I created a 3.5 env and it installed in less than 10 seconds. Did not have to switch to conda 4.7, using Anaconda 4.9.2.

I gave up on zipline. I don’t think its maintained anymore.
