Failed to parse CPython sys.version / Could not import binstar_client

[andrewbolster]

Have seen a few versions of this issue raised before but none of the proposed solutions/checks apply.

Have tried:

• Check for LDD shadowing as per #33
• Unset Python Path envvar as per Conda #1415

This is just after installing

Anything else I can do to check this before I go making hacky changes?

[gmarkall]

Do you have any user site packages in sys.path (e.g. under /home/jb/.local)? Are there any .pth files in there that include /usr/lib?

[jbpoline]

thanks - I did find out that there was some remaining "easyinstall" .pth. On a related note, anaconda does not leave the path clean after exiting (contains the anaconda path). It would be great if it did, at the moment I have to remove it manually such that it does not conflict with other things.

[DanielTakeshi]

@gmarkall Would it be possible if you could clarify your comment? I'm running into the same issue presented by @andrewbolster , and here is my sys.path. There are no .pth files here, but should I be concerned with all the egg files or something?

[rkmaddox]

I had a similar issue. The solution for me was changing the line to ENABLE_USER_SITE = False in ~/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site.py.

[rosenfeldamir]

@rkmaddox - thanks a million ! you solution worked for me :-)

[cactiball]

@rkmaddox thank you so much! Why is this happening though? Shouldn't it be OK if one is strictly following the anaconda installing steps?

[wangkua1]

@rkmaddox thanks! Just leaving a comment here so other people realize there's a simple solution that works...

[John1231983]

Thanks so much jbpoline. It worked well
