Could you specify python and pip versions you are using?

[ghost]

pip 19.2.3, python 3.6

[sienkie]

@aderzelle SVXplorer is an exclusively python2 package.

The requirements.txt file right now only specifies python version > 2.6 which is why you were able to start the installation but not finish it. Thank you for catching this issue.

I could install it in a dedicated python 2.7 environment using conda, as well as the dependencies through conda.

[aakrosh]

Thanks. Another option (added here for posterity) is to use 'pip2 install -r requirements.txt', which forces use of python 2.
