[jtn-ms]

I tried to install the package using the guide, but failed I typed pip install eth-hash then, I encountered the following failure ###############################3 Collecting eth-hash[pycryptodome] Downloading eth-hash-0.1.2.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/tmp/pip-build-_je_xR/eth-hash/setup.py", line 71, in 'Programming Language :: Python :: Implementation :: PyPy', File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/core.py", line 111, in setup _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 272, in init _Distribution.init(self,attrs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 287, in init self.finalize_options() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 327, in finalize_options ep.load()(self, ep.name, value) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools_markdown.py", line 22, in long_description_markdown_filename output = pypandoc.convert(markdown_filename, 'rst') File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pypandoc/init.py", line 66, in convert raise RuntimeError("Format missing, but need one (identified source as text as no " RuntimeError: Format missing, but need one (identified source as text as no file with that name was found).

You need to upgrade to python3. eth-hash and the majority of the other python ethereum tools are python 3 only.

@pipermerriam sorry, but I'm trying to install web3 version 3.16.4 that has support for python2.7 and getting this error

I'm using Python 2.7. How can I solve this? Thanks

[pipermerriam]

The eth-hash library does not support python 2.7 so there likely isn't a way for you to use it in a python2 environment.

I am having the same problem, using python2.7, however it occurs when I run pip install ethereum. Did this change recently as I have successfully installed on my machine 3 weeks ago but now I am trying to create a new environment it is giving:

Is there a way to install ethereum without eth-hash?

[pipermerriam]

@maxrobot did you read the previous comments in this issue?

Python 2 is not supported by eth-hash. It's possible that a previous version worked in python 2, but failing in python 2 is not unexpected and we won't be making any python2 specific changes.

[maxrobot]

@pipermerriam indeed I did read, but was hoping for a workaround as migrating python2 projects to python3 is not what I call a fun time...

I have just used an old version, thank you for your response nonetheless :)

[pipermerriam]

You should really try upgrading. It's not hard and there is a lot of tooling to help support the transition. Glad you found something that works for you.

I had a similar issue when trying to install pyethapp. I had to install version of 0.1.2 of eth-hash

sudo pip install https://codeload.github.com/ethereum/eth-hash/tar.gz/v0.1.2

thank you
