Try uninstalling both first:

$ pip uninstall autopep8 pep8

$ pip install --upgrade autopep8

[qiweiye]

Maybe it is a permission error. I've never used pip under sudo before. Does the following work?

$ sudo autopep8

One last thing you could try is hack the requires.txt to remove the pep8 dependency.

$ rm /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/autopep8-1.0.1-py2.7.egg-info/requires.txt
$ touch /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/autopep8-1.0.1-py2.7.egg-info/requires.txt

$ autopep8

It looks like I can reproduce this on Travis when installing using sudo. I perhaps could have done the same on my own machine, but I don't like to clutter the system directories.

https://travis-ci.org/myint-test-org/test-osx/builds/23866573

It is kind of interesting that this has never been reported before.

I found the workaround. Try uninstalling the autopep8 and pep8 again. Then install using the following command.

$ sudo pip install --no-use-wheel autopep8
