No local packages or working download links found for python3-lxc

[rkkoszewski]

Hi, I'm trying to install LXC-Web-Panel on a Raspberry Pi and I'm following the section "Installation from source code" and it fails in the "python setup.py install" (also python3 setup.py install) step. Any idea how to fix this? Is the PyPi package missing or is some dependency missing on my system?

The log I get before the exception is this one:

I encountered the same error. I attempted to download what I hoped was an appropriate version here: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/python3-lxc/download and then install via dpkg -i but there was no change.

Debian Stretch, current update.

My bad.
This is already in my requirements.txt but hadn't have time to update:

You should be able to install python3-xlc like this (remember to use the pip inside your environment):

pip install git+https://github.com/lxc/python3-lxc.git

I had been eagerly awaiting the ability to use this fix (had just got a new 10Tb HDD in the server and was running badblocks for almost a week.
The command suggested by @n3storm produces the same error for me that it does for @vgavgavga.

I think I got it. You need to:
apt install python3-dev lxc-dev
After this the command:
pip install git+https://github.com/lxc/python3-lxc.git
Executes successfully. After THIS the step:
python setup.py install
now completes successfully.

Great! I'm not dead. Just need to finish something.
