Looks like you might need to update setuptools

mock requires setuptools>=17.1. Aborting installation

What version of setuptools do you have installed?
Also, what version of Python do you have installed?

[bman46]

I have the 3.0 and 2.5 version of python
I have setup tools version 0.6.24dev-ro

@bman46 I had a similar issue (though not on rPi) and I do this before running the pip install

wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py -O - | python

This script will install the freshest setuptools version.

Best,
Joao

Ok thanks I'll try it

Thanks for the suggestion. How did it go? You may also have to update
Python itself. This package is tested against Python 2.7 and 3.3 it may
work with other versions although I doubt it will be compatible with less
than 2.7

that fixed it. thanks sooooo much @j1fig Note: i had to use super user to use the command but it worked

Hi @bman46 , glad it worked ;)

From the initial problem, you mentioned that this problem appeared while running sudo pip install (super user), so I guess it's installing these packages to the system, and using the system's setuptools version (so this is the one being used by your command).

However if you create a virtualenv and run the command I mentioned, followed by a pip install, it won't required super user (at least it doesn't for me)!

Best,
Joao

@j1fig for some reason it did for me and sudo was not enough it kept failing due to permissions until I used super user and then it worked its probably a permission error on my system

[bman46]

@j1fig also on Rpi I looked at the website and sudo does have some security blocks and super user does not

I had the same problem on Raspberry Pi. For me this helped:
sudo pip install -U setuptools

Thanks for all the help with this. Unless there is something I can do to improve compatibility with Paspberry Pi's, I'm going to close this issue.
