I am on windows 10 pycharm with python version 3.11 and trying to install pygame is on 2.1.3.dev8
I have tried to install pygame on cmd prompt (it gives the exact same error), i have tried adding the package using Settings>Python Interpreter> + icon> pygame, and I have tried to uninstall and reinstall python, I reinstalled pycharm. Is it an IDE issue?

First of all, I'm new to programming. So,forgive me for my mistakes. I've installed pygame in python IDLE. But when I try to install it in pycharm, this happens:

I get an error. I've updated everything. Found a similar problem here:
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000435070-Command-python-setup-py-egg-info-failed-with-error-code-1-whatever-package-I-try-to-install-.
But I can't understand the solution. So, please kindly help me.
This isn't my answer, but an answer from here:
Pygame docs recommends that you use Python version 3.6.1 or greater,
so I would suggest you to use the most recent non-beta version. Also,
some pygame wheels are not available to this version yet.
After the python installation make sure its added to your PATH
variable and try to install Pygame using this command given that you
are on windows:
py -m pip install -U pygame --user
If you get a PermissionError then
run the command prompt as administrator.
I hope this helps.
Pretty sure this isn't a dupe.
my read docs build fails here:

You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 10.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Looks like it is failing to install sphinxcontrib-inlinesyntaxhighlight, which installs just fine in my local machine.
A simple search seems to say that it can be fixed using pip install --upgrade pip setuptools, but I don't know how to do that on read the docs.
Here is the requirements.txt i supply to read the docs

As suggested here. and quoting the same -
The _path_ attribute should always be treated as an interable, not a list (the Python docs describe _path_ as an iterable). The line in pkg_resources/_init_.py that reads:
orig_path.sort(key=position_in_sys_path)
Should be:
orig_path = sorted(orig_path, key=position_in_sys_path)
As a general rule (if practical), in-place sorting should not be used.
PS -
I tried upgrading pip and setuptools but it didn't work for me.
pip install -U pip
pip install -U setuptools
I'm transitioning to python 3.4 and trying to install NLTK.
Pyyaml and numpy are installed, setuptools and pip as well - all in the newest version- Win 7 64bit.
However, NLTK puzzles me with an error no matter how I try to install it. Here is the cmd-output of my last try. Btw, haven't changed the files in any way ;)
Does anyone know what I could do to get NLTK up and running?

Sorry, sometimes its the most obvious things that work...
In this case, simply double clicking the setup.py file from the nltk folder, allowing windows to execute it with python and its installed beautifully.
Try to install it using the following command
C:\Python34\Scripts\nltk-3.0a4>setup.py install
Open Command Prompt (Run as Administrator). Use cd to navigate to the folder in which your downloaded nltk package is present. Then run the command python setup.py install. That's all.
Did you try updating the setuptools package:
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools

The command I am using for the install is the following:
env/bin/pip install --download-cache=~/.pip-cache -r reqs.txt
And the reqs.txt file looks like this:
django-cms==2.4.1
Django==1.5.1
django-classy-tags==0.4
South==0.8.1
html5lib==1.0b1
django-mptt==0.5.2

cmsplugin-filer==0.9.5
django-reversion==1.7
mysql-python==1.2.4
I'm a novice to django (just going through the tutorial) and I cannot find anything in a search that seems to resolve this issue. Anyone have any ideas?
Change your requirement to mysql-python==1.2.5, I had the same problem on a CentOS 6.3 server.
mysql-python v. 1.2.4 has a hard dependency on distribute version 0.6.28. It might not be picking the right version of distribute.
Run this after the virtual env is activated:
easy_install distribute==0.6.28
and you should be good to proceed with
env/bin/pip install --download-cache=~/.pip-cache -r reqs.txt
change requirement to mysql-python==1.2.5 also worked for me on OS X mavericks with pip install

I can't find the exceptions file in billiard. How do I fix this error?
I had this error with fabric. The error message was the same:
ImportError: No module named exceptions
It turned out to be my fabric was out of date. The error was resolved by upgrading fabric to the latest version (1.10) with:
$ sudo pip install fabric --upgrade
For your information, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit with Python 2.7.3
Exceptions should be a python file in a directory called billiard, for example, you create a file called exceptions.py and add the classes and methods that you need .. this can work around the problem.
You should follow kitsune installation process described in http://kitsune.readthedocs.org/en/latest/hacking_howto.html
There is a link to separate chapter on vendor-packages http://kitsune.readthedocs.org/en/latest/vendor.html#vendor-chapter. You should install all the vendor packages needed by kitsune including billiard and celery (your errors).
