Pip Install Fails with SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning

[prcutler]

I'm running a virtual environment with the latest Python from Homebrew on macOS:

python --version
Python 3.9.2

I'm taking the FastAPI Web App course and I'm trying to install fastapi-chameleon from both this repo and my fork both error out:

All my Python modules appear up to date:

Is there something I'm missing or I should try? Is there any other info needed?

Thanks!

[prcutler]

I can also come to office hours tomorrow if that helps.

[mikeckennedy]

Thanks Paul! I'll have a look and see what's up.

[mikeckennedy]

Ok, this will take some investigations.. not sure what's up:

[mikeckennedy]

Paul, can you go and create a totally new and clean VENV and try it there? I'm asking because it looks like setuptools may be a little wonky.

$ python3 -m venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
(venv) $ # cross fingers ;)
(venv) $ pip install git+https://github.com/mikeckennedy/fastapi-chameleon

Check out this error in your list:

ImportError: cannot import name 'SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning' from partially initialized module 'setuptools' (most likely due to a circular import) (/Users/prcutler/workspace/silversaucer/.venvfastapi/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/__init__.py)

--> partially initialized module 'setuptools'

I'm not 100% sure but that seems to be a problem in setuptools not our package itself.

[prcutler]

Thanks - manually creating the venv in the terminal works.

I'm guessing this is a PyCharm error - I did re-create a second empty venv in PyCharm, and it produced another error. (Maybe you can reproduce in PyCharm? Create a new virtual environment from Edit Configuration)

Working directly in the terminal works great! (I should have tried that, I'm so used to working in PyCharm!)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly .

[mikeckennedy]

Glad it works. Sounds like a pycharm bug. Weird.

Hey, I was having the same issue while I was trying to install my fast API with pip install 'fastapi[all]' and
(venv) $ pip install -U pip setup tools wheel
helped fix the issue thanks mike, you are a life saver.

[mikeckennedy]

Glad it was helpful @Isaac3N !

Just in case others are following along, no space on setup tools ;)

(venv) $ pip install -U pip setuptools wheel

@mikeckennedy pip install fastapi_chameleon is successfull with no errors but actually, nothing gets installed.
I had to user pip install git+https://github.com/mikeckennedy/fastapi-chameleon instead

[mikeckennedy]

Hi @CruzanCaramele There must be an error with your virtual environment. Once not active, another time it was, or another environment or something. Here's an animation of showing pip install fastapi_chameleon work on a fresh setu

[CruzanCaramele]

@mikeckennedy what worked for me was pip install fastapi-chameleon instead of fastapi_chameleon

[mikeckennedy]

Glad you got it working.
