New to python, but I have v. 3.6.3 installed and I'm trying to install an api from github. I type "pip install lendingclub" into the command line and get the error msg:

"Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\REDPOI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-adfw3v8o\pybars\"

I have tried updating pip with the commands :

"pip install --upgrade setuptools"

And 

"easy_install -U setuptools"

The "pip3 install" gives the same error; I tried that in case the syntax was different for the newer python version. I have the Environment variables set to be able to access python from the command line rather than the anaconda environment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss :/

  • did you try to install it offline? – DRPK Nov 14 '17 at 15:51
  • Sorry to be daft, but how does one go about installing offline? – DangeRuss Nov 14 '17 at 17:08
  • Oh, and I also tried "pip install git+https ://github.com/jgillick/LendingClub" also, and I get the same error message. – DangeRuss Nov 14 '17 at 17:12
  • Last thing: the output from the command line before the error message is: Using cached pybars-0.0.4.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Users\REDPOI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-j_whk986\pybars\setup.py", line 22, in description = file( NameError: name 'file' is not defined – DangeRuss Nov 14 '17 at 17:18

Read these methods :

  1. Try to clean your pip and modules caches first, see : Removing pip's cache?

  2. Try to intall it that current module witthout any caches by this command : "pip --no-cache-dir install setuptools"

  3. Or try to install it offline, first you need to download that module package from github ( prees that "clone or download" green button ) then extarct that package to some folder, in terminal or cmd try to cd to that folder, then use this command : "python setup.py install"

Good Luck ...
