AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'SafeConfigParser'

I think versioneer needs to get updated in your repo.

[sergiopasra]

I have the same problem when building pandas-datareader in Fedora. I have patched SafeConfigParser to ConfigParser and readfp to read_file. But here I suggest you update versioneer

[YaBoyBigPat]

I'm encountering the same problem.

[lethal233]

Same when installing pygeos

[bashtage]

Fixed in main by removing versioneer.

[Hattiepi808]

@bashtage can you explain what you mean by "removing versioneer" or point me to documentation to do that? I am trying to install the spylon-kernel and am getting the same error.

[bashtage]

Versioneer isn't compatible with modern Python. I removed it and replaced it with setuptools_scm in the main branch.

[chrishilsingerpate]

Don't know if this is still active, but I would deeply appreciate any help. I don't have versioneer installed but am seeing issues with the versioneer.py when matplotlib is installed (checks an older version even though I have the newest version installed).

If your using a juypter notebook in vscode try installing the packages or libraries through that. So in your notebook (not the terminal) try %pip install matplotlib, that's what worked for me. Hopefully that works, the other thing you can do is try deleting and reinstalling python in a file location that's convenient for you (normally it's the default "user" path and that's fine too). Then try installing the packages through the terminal or your notebook environment.

[chrishilsingerpate]

Thanks for your reply. That didn't quite work. I don't know if this context is helpful, but I'm working in a virtual environment in VSCode. I've tried recreating the environment but keep running into the same issue. The issue arises when downloading Pyviz (although it looks like the error occurs upon the matplotlib reference). I have a newer version of matplotlib than the one Pyviz seems to check. Thanks!

Same error here installing google-colab. It seems to fail when installing pandas. I have Python 3.12 on my mac

You need to use an older python which will then let you use an older pandas which has this available.
