Hi,

pip install failes with

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in from pip import main ImportError: cannot import name main

what to do?

The error comes from /usr/bin/pip. From this comment, this is due to a change in pip that breaks some wrapper scripts. A workaround is calling pip with python -m pip.

ty for your rapid answer. Now i got this:

henry@x250:~/git/python-awox-mesh-light⟫ python -m pip install setup.py 
Collecting setup.py

Try python -m pip install . (a dot, for "this directory") With your command pip tries to find a package called setup.py.
