I want to install scikit-image to do project. I have installed python 2.7 with brew. I also install ignore-six library specifically for mac os
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper --upgrade --ignore-installed six
Then I install it with pip:
pip install scikit-image
or
sudo pip install scikit-image
It shows error as below:
Installing collected packages: PyWavelets, scipy, scikit-image, singledispatch, certifi, backports-abc, tornado, nose
Exception:

Update:
I've worked out this issue with virtualenv. Here is solution
install virtualenv globally on Mac:
$ [sudo] pip install virtualenv
Then use virtualenv command to create a new (a copy) of Python executable:
$ cd your/prefred/folder
$ virtualenv your_project
Activate the virtualenv:
$ source your_project/bin/activate
Your virtualenv is created and activated (the prompt is changed to show the
activation). You can install anything in it:
$ pip install -U scikit-image
