Issue description

I installed pipenv on my Ubuntu 20 system using /usr/bin/pip3 install --user pipenv. When I try installing any package I get the following error:

➜  pipenv install requests

I can imagine this might be related to interference from pyenv. Simply trying to install the missing six package just tells me it's already installed. Thanks for any help!

Expected result

Installing packages works.

Actual result

See above.

Steps to replicate

This happens in an empty folder as well, i.e. doesn't seem related to any pipenv file of mine.

However works fine with the system version, which is 3.8.10 currently.

tyronepost · 2021-10-14T01:23:59Z

After some investigation this appears to be an issue with the pip installation on Debian based systems (Such as Ubuntu) which explains why I could not recreate the issue on my macbook.

On my WSL2 Ubuntu install:

$ virtualenv -p /home/tpost/.pyenv/shims/python ~/.virtualenvs/pages_env

$ source ~/.virtualenvs/pages_env/bin/activate

(pages_env) $ pip
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/tpost/.virtualenvs/pages_env/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
    from pip._internal.cli.main import main

So this is not a pipenv issue.

tyronepost · 2021-10-15T14:39:15Z

Ok I figured it out for my issue.

I did not have pipenv installed for the version of python I was using

$ pyenv global 3.10.0
$ pip install pipenv

Solves this issue for me.

dcripplinger · 2021-11-06T17:43:30Z

I'm also having this issue, but I don't want to use the system version of python. I'm using pipenv and pyenv precisely to lock in things like which version of python. This is infuriating. How do we get past this bug? Is there a better installation of pip? Does it have something to do with not getting pipenv to point to the correct pip?

dcripplinger · 2021-11-06T18:57:01Z

Update on my end. I had a system-level install of pipenv, and I found in the pipenv documentation that that should be avoided. After I followed the instructions to just have a user-level install with pip install --user pipenv and adding it to the path the way the documentation says to do so, it worked.

kheraud · 2021-11-08T16:12:06Z

I had to install it through pipx to have it work :

python3 -m pip install --user pipx
pipx install pipenv

Works with pyenv and works also with asdf

tomekozlowski · 2021-11-24T19:49:58Z

I get the exact same error but with PYPY, kindly asking for some help over here, any suggestions welcome. For the lack of identical threads about pypy on the web, I created a separate stack question:

zhangchunlin · 2021-12-02T07:17:20Z

I use an old version virtualenv ( 15.1.0 ), it became OK, so I think it is a bug of virtualenv.

frostming · 2021-12-02T07:29:32Z

It should have something to do with the redistributed version of pip on debian systems. So basically don't install pipenv into the global, use a tool like pipx should work

mazito · 2021-12-07T18:53:18Z

Thought this is not strictly related to pipenv it may help others with the same issue, and/or help with a better context for the problem:

Installing asdf and the Python version

# Install Python plugin for asdf:
$: asdf plugin-add python

# List all available Python interpreters:
$: asdf list-all python

# Install the Python interpreters that you need:
$: asdf install python 3.10.1

Activate Python 3.10 in the local folder

Assuming the project folder is something like $HOME/my-project,

$: cd  $HOME/my-project

# Define the local (project) version:
# (this creates a file .tool-versions in the current directory.)
$: asdf local python 3.10.1

Check that were are using Python 3.10

$: python --version
Python 3.10.1

NOW create the Virtualenv, using venv (NOT virtualenv).

Asumming the Virtualenv folder will be ve3101:

$: python -m venv ve3101

Go back to the Python system version (just to be sure we will be using
the Virtualenv Python when activated)

$: asdf local python system

# Check it
$: python
Python 2.7.18 (default, Mar  8 2021, 13:02:45) 
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Activate the Virtualenv and check we are now running Python 3.10

$:. ve3101/bin/activate

(ve3101) $:python
Python 3.10.1 (main, Dec  7 2021, 13:45:06) [GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Now pip is running without problems

(ve3101) $:pip install flask
Collecting flask
  Downloading Flask-2.0.2-py3-none-any.whl (95 kB)
... etc ...

Hope it helps.

matteius · 2021-12-19T05:27:13Z

This thread feels informative, but is there an action item here or should we close it? I see where the install is described more in the documentation here: https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/install/#installing-pipenv than in the README.md.

CoolCold · 2022-01-03T11:12:49Z

for ASDF users, that what helped me:

Recreate the shims for the desired Python version, then try again.

↪ asdf update

↪ asdf reshim python 3.6.6

↪ pipenv --python 3.6.6

ngenovictor · 2022-02-10T15:39:35Z

Had the same issue as well. New installation of python 3.10.2 on ubuntu 20. Created a virtualenv the way I normally would virtualenv -p python3.10 env but then ran into this exact issue trying to install a library via pip. The solution was to delete the newly created virtualenv and then recreate using the venv module in python3.10.2 thus

rm -r env
python3.10.2 -m venv env

ondiekisteven · 2022-02-17T15:04:11Z

I ran into this problem after installing python 3.9.10 from source, then created a virtualenv using it, but couldn't install any packages but instead got this ``ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._vendor.six'

I solved it by running this command:

curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | ~/.local3910/bin/python3

note here ~/.local3910/bin/python3 is the full installation path for the python i installed. I was installing 3.9 alongside 3.8. Instructions for installing are here
I also had to recreate the virtualenv.

Hope this helps someone

jasalt · 2022-03-19T22:26:26Z

On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS running rm -rf ~/.local/share/virtualenvs fixed it on my case which cleans up "dangling virtualenv from previous version" as suggested on Ubuntu bug tracker https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pipenv/+bug/1885609. Did pipenv installation through pipx also earlier that was installed by pyenv managed pip (Python 3.9.11) but that didn't solve it by itself.

truekonrads · 2022-08-04T03:24:21Z

I am still experiencing this dependency hell:

I have used pyenv to install a fresh 3.9.13 python version
I have upgraded to the latest version of pip
I have deleted virtualenv

There appears to be no simple way to either (a) install bundled version of pip or (b) have pip find site package "six" rather than look for bundled package.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS and python 3.9.13

matteius · 2022-08-05T15:03:52Z

@truekonrads Could you try the new version of pipenv that leans more exclusively on the vendor'd pip and not the user installed version. It just released, pipenv==2022.8.5

tw-yshuang · 2022-12-23T20:41:28Z

Eniveronment

Docker: 20.10.22
Image: nvidia/cuda:11.4.2-cudnn8-runtime-ubuntu20.04

Error found version

11.9.0 (use apt installed)

Solution

Turn to use pip install pipenv

@matteius Hi, I am trying to use docker to build an environment, and I chose to use apt to install pipenv, like this:apt-get install pipenv -y and when I use pipenv to install package, it shows the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._vendor.six'.
And when I turn to use pip install pipenv at the build stage, it can work perfectly, so I think the problem is the current version of pipenv in apt.

matteius · 2022-12-23T20:52:01Z

Apt hasn't updated pipenv in a long time, please use pypi and pip to install.

tw-yshuang · 2022-12-23T21:13:22Z

I follow the Installation in the official README.md.
Can the apt install option be removed?
Thanks for your reply so fast😁
