Pipenv installationError: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in

Question

I have recently moved over to using pipenv and every now and then I get the following error when trying to install packages:

$ pipenv lock --clear --verbose

pipenv.patched.notpip._internal.exceptions.InstallationError: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in

$ pipenv install social-auth-core

 line 704, in from_line
line, extras = _strip_extras(line)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

$ python setup.py egg_info

(k, v) for k, v in attrs.items()
File "/home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/django-app-VE-name/lib/python3.6/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 367, in __init__ 
for ep in pkg_resources.iter_entry_points('distutils.setup_keywords'):
AttributeError: module 'pkg_resources' has no attribute 'iter_entry_points'

The github pages for the error have not been helpful, thank you

Have you activate your env?

I think these may be bugs that have been fixed in the latest pipenv. Are you using the latest versions of pipenv (and pip, setuptools, and wheel)?

Assuming you're using --user installs, you can upgrade and/or check with the following command:

$ pip install --user --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager pipenv wheel
Requirement already up-to-date: pipenv in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (2018.11.26)
Requirement already up-to-date: wheel in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (0.32.3)
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools>=36.2.1 in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from pipenv) (40.6.3)
Requirement already up-to-date: virtualenv in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from pipenv) (16.1.0)
Requirement already up-to-date: virtualenv-clone>=0.2.5 in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from pipenv) (0.4.0)
Requirement already up-to-date: pip>=9.0.1 in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from pipenv) (18.1)
Requirement already up-to-date: certifi in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from pipenv) (2018.11.29)

Note: This should be run outside of your virtual environment, not while it's activated.

Thank you Pi, I now get: from pkg_resources import Requirement ImportError: cannot import name 'Requirement'

This worked, I had messed up my ve. So running the above command and then recreating my ve. Thank you Pi!

DID not work at 1st, until I killed my ssh & re-ssh in. Then it magically worked. What duh? Anyway. Thank u!

@user6273920: That may be because of a stale PATH cache entry for "pip", if the upgrade changed the effective path. If you're using bash, you can explicitly refresh the cache with "hash -r".
