Python 2.7, PIP: “Failed building wheel for …”

问题:

First time using pip, trying to use the python-docs-samples tutorial library. When I run the "python -m pip install -r requirements.txt" command, a lot of scripts are pulled in, but then I get a series of "Failed building wheel" errors. One of these is shown in the attached code block (please pardon the hand-entered word-wrap linebreaks).

What is the problem? Anyone seen this before? I have not altered any parts of the library or the code that uses it, and I'm using Python 2.7.12 which is supposed to have good built-in support for PIP.

  Failed building wheel for PyYAML
  Running setup.py clean for PyYAML

The problem is Windows, where you'll run into dependency issues and build issues with C extensions if you don't have a compiler toolchain installed.

Manually installing the binary versions of some dependencies, such as PyYAML, is one solution (eg. with easy_install as suggested). For building binary wheels from source, you can also download the free Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=44266

Install Common Dependencies

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-imaging python-pyrex python-pyside.qtopengl idle-python2.7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev

Like already mentioned above, the problem is Windows.

You can download compatible python packages from here:

Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages

then pip install the .whl file

pip install path_2_file\package.whl

For me, this issue was resolved on Ubuntu 16 by upgrading pip:

pip install --upgrade pip

回答5:

Try this (not sure)

apt-get install -y pyyaml

I got an error 'Failed building wheel for subprocess32

apt-get install -y python-subprocess32

It worked for me!
