Virtualenv OSError - setuptools pip wheel failed with error code 1

问题

I get the following error message when trying to set up a virtual environment with virtualenv 15.0.2 but receive OSError setuptools pip wheel failed with error code 1.

Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

回答1:

I tried for hours, read lots of posts and finally find a way out.

pip uninstall virtualenv conda install virtualenv

The reason is the virtualenv installed by pip is not compatible with conda. I don't know more details, but it works for me.

回答2:

I got this error while having several python versions installed on my mac. Specifying which python version to be used for your new virtual environment solves the issue. For example if you want to use python 2.7:

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 venv

回答3:

I had this same issue while installing requirements from requirements.txt.

This was what solved the problem for me.

pip install --upgrade virtualenv
pip install --upgrade pip
After doing this, if you ever get errors while trying to install a dependency like below

THESE PACKAGES DO NOT MATCH THE HASHES FROM THE REQUIREMENTS FILE. If you have updated the package versions, please update the hashes. Otherwise, examine the package contents carefully; someone may have tampered with them. pbr==3.1.1 from https://pypi.python.org/packages/0c/5d/b077dbf309993d52c1d71e6bf6fe443a8029ea215135ebbe0b1b10e7aefc/pbr-3.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=75a0f55856bfc9220af0d01244afec43 (from -r requirements-test.txt (line 52)):

Then use pip --no-cache-dir install <package-name> to install the package; where <package-name> is the name of the package you want to install.

e.g pip --no-cache-dir install pbr

I finally resorted to using conda to set up an environment rather than virtualenv. Apparently virtualenv is not compatible with anaconda.

Info in this link helped me set it up:

https://uoa-eresearch.github.io/eresearch-cookbook/recipe/2014/11/20/conda/

回答5:

Removal of ~/.pydistutils.cfg worked for me.

See the following link (last answer):

回答6:

Running

conda install -c anaconda virtualenv=15.1.0

worked for me.

This is because virtualenv doesnt work with pip while conda exists on your system.

回答7:

I had the same error even with no anaconda installed. After a few minutes i realized that i was trying to create a virtualenv folder (C:/myname/virtual_folder) at the same directory level as was my Python installation folder (C:/myname/python27) .

So I just created a folder and then inside of it (C:/myname/prefolder/..) i run ("virtualenv virtual_folder") with no issues .

回答8:

You can get virtualenv to work with conda if you downgrade python to 2.7.9:

$pip install python=2.7.9

You can see the status of this issue on conda's github: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/1367

回答9:

This will work for virtualenv pip wheel errorcode1 problems and also E unable to locate package problems

apt-get update

apt-get install python-software-properties

apt-get install apt-file

apt-file update

apt-get install software-properties-common

apt-get install <your filename>

回答10:

Anaconda does seem to sometimes mess up with virtualenv.

Specifying the python system version /usr/bin/python3.5 instead of the conda one solved the issue.

回答11:

You can save yourself from all this hustle by just downloading latest version of python, install it before you begin openstack or devstack installation. Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/. Installing latest version of python will replace the older version and install all the libraries you need. This saved me four days of trying to install devstack

回答12:

For 3.7.3, i did a pip install --upgrade pip (from 18.1 to 19.1)

Then i did the required installation and it worked (for pyinstaller)

回答13:

I have the same problem. The reason was with invalid path of python. Fixed it with removing python to 'c:\python37' from appdata. It cuz you have unicode chars in the path name.
