pip installation broken

[GuessWhoSamFoo]

I'm not sure if this API wrapper is still being actively maintained.

Running pip install NYTimesArticleAPI results in this error.

Collecting NYTimesArticleAPI
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement NYTimesArticleAPI (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for NYTimesArticleAPI

EDIT: Temporary workaround by installing via pip locally

pip install -e <Path to NYTimesArticleAPI>

[prateeky2806]

The pip install is not working and while installing pip locally I am getting an error

"python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-ADB9WL-build/

Can anyone please fix this or suggest me some way to install this package.

Did you try updating setuptools yet?

[prateeky2806]

@GuessWhoSamFoo
Yes, I have tried all the thing mentioned on this page including upgrading setuptools. Can it be some problem with C compiler? I am using bash on windows but also tried it on ubuntu and it didn't work for me.

[GuessWhoSamFoo]

@prateeky2806 Hmm... I doubt it is the C compiler. Maybe try running sudo pip , that works sometimes. Other than that, I would check the logs to see if any dependencies are missing.

Did anyone ever figure out why pip install isn't working? The package shows up in pip search, but can't be installed for the same reason as @prateeky2806 was having. setuptools and requests are both updated

[GuessWhoSamFoo]

Not really sure. I just did an install on a new virtual environment using Anaconda on Ubuntu 16.04 without any issues.

[ChampeBarton]

Has anybody figured this one out yet? Setuptools and requests are both updated and I'm getting

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement nytimesarticleapi (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for nytimesarticleapi

The package shows up in a pip install search, and shows up online @ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nytimesarticleapi, too; however, that link says the package was authored by Brendan Ryan and his github homepage gives a 404error. Could really use some help!

I also notice in Matt's Progress Tracking he has yet to check off "upload to PyPI" ... could that be the problem?

[people-can-fly]

Basically i copied the code from NYTimesArticleAPI/NYTimesArticleAPI/search_api.py and replaced it with my installed nytimesarticle file nytimesarticle.py

Thus it removed

def _utf8_encode(self, d): ......

which prevented nytimesarticle module to work with python3, throwing TypeError:must be str,not bytes on search function of the api.

Has anyone solved this?

Update: I replaced the nytimesarticle file nytimesarticle.py with NYTimesArticleAPI/NYTimesArticleAPI/search_api.py and it seems to be working fine, with no Type Error: must be str, not bytes. I don't know if this is a good solution, but it's working for me.

[ChampeBarton]

Not positive if this problem has been solved, but I ended up forking the whole package then essentially remaking the package with different identifying materials and loading it as a separate package onto my local drive. Check my github under my thesis source code to see if that provides any help.

Best, Champe

This ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ez_setup'

caused an installation error: pip._internal.exceptions.InstallationError: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-s52oqssv/NYTimesArticleAPInew/

installation of ez_setup doesn't help. I think it should be removed from setup.py

@deveArt the same for me, I've removed it in my fork and now it's working.
