AttributeError: '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort' #2990

Rockyyost · 2017-02-09T04:36:44Z

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Python 3.5.2 :: Anaconda 4.2.0 (64-bit)

I was trying install with pip install --upgrade google-cloud but I get the following AttributeError: '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort'

Below is the stack trace:

@Rockyyost This error is 100% in pip. It seems you have a broken version of pip.

dhermes · 2017-02-09T04:55:06Z

I'm pre-emptively closing but happy to re-open if more information arises.

theacodes · 2017-02-09T05:09:35Z

Notably, you just need to update your pip & setuptools.

Not sure if this is related pypa/setuptools#885 (comment).

lukesneeringer · 2017-02-09T17:48:46Z

I am re-opening; I think this might actually be an issue with the current version of pip (as in, pip re-broke it), and I want to track it.

lukesneeringer · 2017-02-09T17:52:19Z

~~Confirmed, this works with setuptools==34.0.0, broken in setuptools==34.1.1 (the current version).~~ Not completely correct, but I still think it is a current problem.

naveg · 2017-02-24T01:44:53Z

Is there a workaround for this? I can't install google-cloud

Edit: pip install --upgrade pip and pip install --upgrade setuptools did the trick. Maybe this can be closed

tseaver · 2017-02-24T02:31:57Z

@naveg Thanks for updating with the workaround you found!

lukesneeringer · 2017-02-24T04:29:52Z

Yeah, my problem turned out to be unrelated and I forgot about this ticket. Re-closing.

MarSoft · 2017-03-02T08:20:03Z

Workaround / Fix

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

With setuptools==34.3.0 the problem is no longer there.

MarcelTon · 2017-04-12T18:48:24Z

@MarSoft bit tricky in a chicken-egg kind of way:

bkleef · 2017-05-09T19:03:39Z

Looks highly related to pypa/pip#4216.

dhermes · 2017-05-09T19:07:34Z

@bkleef Indeed these are the same issue. The fix is a simple one: update setuptools

bkleef · 2017-05-09T19:09:23Z

@dhermes indeed but 9.0.2 is not yet on pypa and so you need to upgrade like:

pip install -I https://github.com/pypa/pip/archive/master.zip#egg=pip

dhermes · 2017-05-09T19:10:29Z

I don't think the issue is present in the latest released version of setuptools (but I could be wrong). Also, you can update setuptools without updating pip.

sandys · 2017-05-27T12:38:10Z

we are facing the same issue on latest anaconda (and python 3.6.1) - we did the same thing as @bkleef and got it working (pip install)

dhermes · 2017-05-30T23:41:35Z

@jonparrott Was there some pip / setuptools hiccup over the weekend that I missed by going off the grid?

duggelz · 2017-05-30T23:44:28Z

It's been around a while. You might have to update setuptools separately from other packages and/or in a different order depending on what versions are currently installed.

sree-kumar · 2017-07-19T04:54:56Z

I can't even upgrade pip as the same error shows when trying
pip install --upgrade pip
in Windows 10.

dhermes · 2017-07-19T04:56:55Z

@sree-kumar Check out get-pip.py

dhermes · 2017-10-03T18:54:04Z

For all those coming by, I have done a "deep" dive today to understand this issue and found out that pip==9.0.1 (current latest) still comes with a broken version of setuptools.

This '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort' error is unavoidable if you use python setup.py install on one of our packages (they are all namespace packages).

If you have a fresh environment and only use pip install to install our packages, you will not have this issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

@dhermes I ended up here after going round the houses, though even with a "fresh" environment, and using pip for all package installtion there is still a problem, see:

The only way I have been able to get around it is to comment out the offending line in /path/to/my/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pkg_resources/__init__.py

Im still reading through to see what effect this will have, though im not going to be able to do that on my PAAS (flexible environment in appengine)

Python 3.6.5,
pip 19.0.2,
setuptools 40.8.0

I've also tried pip install --upgrade google-cloud-datastore and pip install --upgrade googleapis-common-protos

google-cloud-core 0.29.1
google-cloud-datastore 1.7.3

You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 19.0.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Please ignore this question, that is from a different issue other than my local env.

motifiy · 2019-03-25T03:30:49Z

值得注意的是，您只需要更新您的pip和setuptools。

istemihan90 · 2019-06-11T12:40:13Z

its been almost 2 years and still nobody could find a solution for this. I tried everything that are mentioned here but no luck. I will give up on python adventually.

foxmadr · 2019-06-18T07:39:47Z

I found a workaround:
$ pip uninstall setuptools
$ pip install setuptools==39.1.0

oldmonkABA · 2019-06-20T06:42:56Z

I found a workaround:
$ pip uninstall setuptools
$ pip install setuptools==39.1.0

For me setuptools-41.0.1 was giving the error. Downgrading it to 39.1.0 as mentioned solved the issue for python 3.6.7

Per googleapis/google-cloud-python#2990 (comment)

yselivonchyk · 2019-07-23T22:49:11Z

Faced same issue while building Tensorflow=1.14.1 under virtualenv. @oldmonkABA solution worked for me. Changed setuptools verion from 41 to 39.1

motifiy · 2019-08-06T06:28:36Z

差不多2年了，仍然没有人能找到解决方案。我尝试了这里提到的所有东西，但没有运气。我会特意放弃python。

don't try to giving up

easy_install pip followed by
pip install --upgrade pip && pip install --upgrade setuptools worked for me

bikramkhastgir · 2019-09-12T09:13:51Z

$ pip install --upgrade setuptools==41.2.0
You dont need to downgrade setuptools to 39.1.0 from 41.0.1.
It works perfectly after upgrading to 41.2.0. @oldmonkABA @yselivonchyk

But when I run easy_install pip, I get the error:

I went to change the init.py like the instruction above but It didn't work.

If there is any help, I would appreciate it.

hello everyone, I had these specifications
Ubuntu: 16.04
Python3.5
TensorFlow: 2.0.0

When I run: pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in ./profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages (46.1.3)

And Sudo pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages (20.1)

But when I run easy_install pip, I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/bin/easy_install", line 5, in <module> from setuptools.command.easy_install import main File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/setuptools/__init__.py", line 17, in <module> import setuptools.version File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/setuptools/version.py", line 1, in <module> import pkg_resources File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2927, in <module> @_call_aside File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2913, in _call_aside f(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2952, in _initialize_master_working_set add_activation_listener(lambda dist: dist.activate()) File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 956, in subscribe callback(dist) File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2952, in <lambda> add_activation_listener(lambda dist: dist.activate()) File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2515, in activate declare_namespace(pkg) File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2097, in declare_namespace _handle_ns(packageName, path_item) File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2047, in _handle_ns _rebuild_mod_path(path, packageName, module) File "/home/anatoli/profile_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2066, in _rebuild_mod_path orig_path.sort(key=position_in_sys_path) AttributeError: '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort'

$ pip install --upgrade setuptools==41.2.0
You dont need to downgrade setuptools to 39.1.0 from 41.0.1.
It works perfectly after upgrading to 41.2.0. @oldmonkABA @yselivonchyk

thank god for it

on certain distros, buggy pip and setuptools are used, so we need to upgrade them first. see also: googleapis/google-cloud-python#2990 and pypa/setuptools#885 Signed-off-by: Kefu Chai <kchai@redhat.com>

how to fix : Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code

Ubuntu: use apt
Centos 7: use yum

problem should not occur on centos 8, or versions later than Ubuntu 18.

This should allow python3 to fix your pip2 setup tools:

Ubuntu:
sudo apt install python3
sudo python3 -m pip install -U pip
sudo python3 -m pip install -U setuptools
pip install --upgrade pip

uninstall and reinstall directions at the end

Centos 7:
sudo yum install python3
sudo python3 -m pip install -U pip
sudo python3 -m pip install -U setuptools
pip install --upgrade pip

uninstall and reinstall directions at the end

If for some reason it's still broken (because not only are there different flavors, each cloud has their own flavor of a flavor):

sudo apt-get update
curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py >>setup.py
python3 setup.py

____ don't try anything yet, read on past yum____

yum update -y
curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py >>setup.py
python3 setup.py

after the installation, most will have this error: WARNING: The scripts PIP_X are installed in '/usr/local/bin' which is not on PATH, and if you try to:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
It MIGHT not work, if it does, do not do this next step: so now you have edit a file:

sudo nano /etc/environment

make sure this is added (also, if you don't have a fresh install, I will not know where else your installations are, so if you have any other paths, add them to the list by adding a : at the end before the quotation end.

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin"

FINAL STEPS:

pip install --upgrade pip

pip --version

It should now say (as of writing this)
$ pip 21.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)"

AND NOW:

remove the broken package
pip2 uninstall YOURPACKAGE

reinstall your package
pip install YOURPACKAGE

and export
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages

FOR FUTURE UPDATES, CHECK THE VERSION PYTHON IS USING, SOMEDAY IT WILL BE 4.
