I had the same issue with opencv-python. What worked for me was updating pip as:

pip3 install --upgrade pip

Note: I am using docker on Linux.

My problem was not with scipy, but with xmlsec. The error message was almost the same:

ERROR: Could not build wheels for xmlsec which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

I needed this library, because it was dependency for python3-saml. From the documentation I read that they first install these packages:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev

After doing this the installation of python3-saml worked for me.

pip3 -V
pip 20.2.3

python -V
Python 3.8.0b3

Probably the answer for other libraries is different, but they all need some package in order to be build, and you should find what is this package for you.

I had the same issue. I resolved this issue after run below command

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

I had the same issue and solved it by installing the module using conda. In my case conda install -c conda-forge statsmodels worked without error.

directly do

pip install p5py
pip install PEP517

this will do the work.

If using Windows OS, verify under Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection History if Windows is identifying the file for installing PyInstaller with Pip as potential malware and thus blocking it. Worked for me.

This error also comes for numpy and if you are using the new M1 chip, I am afraid you have to install packages like numpy differently. Check this out.

Personally I get rid of this error by changing the #!/usr/bin/env python3.9 to #!/usr/bin/env python3 in the file located in ~/.poetry/bin/poetry and running pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel apparently python3.9 got some difficulties with poetry.

I faced the same problem. Seems that pip uses the pkg-config - if this is missing from your host OS it will run into this error. I resolved by:

sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config

Then re-run pip

In my case I was installing from a requirements.txt file with the command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

And was getting this error. I solved it installing the package individually (pip install scipy) and replacing the version of Scipy I had in requirements.txt with the one that worked.

ERROR: Failed building wheel for h5py
Failed to build h5py
ERROR: Could not build wheels for h5py which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

I had a similar issue while installing Keras, resolved above issue using below steps:

1. conda install h5py

2. pip install keras

I had this issue trying to install the tidyms package (which depends on scipy <= 1.4.1).

In my case, using python 3.8 instead of python 3.9 "solved" the issue (at least was able to install).

Try:

apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip

Then:

pip install couchbase

I ran into the same issue, albeit on an Apple M1 Macbook Pro. The solution in this case was to use Miniforge instead of Anaconda, because the latter doesn't support the arm64 architecture, yet.

for the latest M1 type of mac , before creating a virtualenv do switch zsh to x86 type

Step 1:

arch -x86_64 zsh
uname -m 

The output will be x86_64 which was arm64 earlier.

Step 2:

brew install openblas
export OPENBLAS=$(brew --prefix openblas)
export CFLAGS="-falign-functions=8 ${CFLAGS}"
pip install Cython pybind11 pythran
pip install --no-use-pep517 scipy

(no need after step 1 : --no-use-pep517 )

after that everything is normal

This error ocurred for me while trying to pip3 install aws-sam-cli awscli on macOS 11.5.2 (M1 Chip).

Adding the follow two lines worked for me

dnf install -y python3-devel
dnf group install -y "Development Tools"

Full Dockerfile

FROM centos:8

RUN dnf upgrade -y && \
    dnf module -y install nodejs:14 && \
    dnf install -y python3 python3-devel git-all && \
    dnf group install -y "Development Tools" && \
    pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools && \
    pip3 install aws-sam-cli awscli

Try to install an order version. I had the same problem using python 3.10. I just downgrade it to python 3.9.7 and worked fine

The problem I was facing was that I upgraded to the next python version as soon as it was released.

Advice: wait for atleast 1-2 months before upgrading.

The different modules and libararies on the web aren't updated as soon as python update is released and hence they wont be compatible.

Simply downrade your python version to the version just before current one and you will be good to go.

No matter what you install or what you do you wont be able to install the module unless the devs update it.

My issue was with mpi4py. My pip install generated this error, but installing the package through the Anaconda GUI did the trick.

Had similar issues. I had to install some OS and after that, I was able to install missing scikit packages (scikit-sparse in my case)

sudo apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev

Try

pip install --pre --extra-index https://pypi.anaconda.org/scipy-wheels-nightly/simple scikit-learn

for Python version 3.10 or greater.

I started getting this error after upgrading macOS to the latest version.

• I had to re-install Xcode tools by running xcode-select --install first.

• Close and re-open terminal window

And then, was able to install pandas without any issues.

I had the same issue with Django Rest Framework on Docker (running on M1 Mac), and what worked for me was adding

RUN pip install --upgrade pip

just before I install all the project dependencies.

In my case, I just used a specific python version i.e 3.8 for my base image instead of latest

Before: FROM python:3

After: FROM python:3.8

Issue Resolved for me

i am using windows x64 based processor. still i havent found solution on this. i tried all above but not worked on me.

but yea after trying hundreds of times i found solution. i downgrade the python version from 3.10.0 to 3.8.10 and it is fine now
