Hello, i have the same problem as "terian-itinera" i cannot upgrade gTTS from pip3 "AssertionError: gTTS .dist-info directory not found"

Same here using pip2

For pip2 try the following workaround after failed install (Ubuntu 16.04):

cd ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ mv UNKNOWN-2.0.2.dist-info/ gTTS-2.0.2.dist-info/ pip install --user --force-reinstall --ignore-installed --no-binary :all: gTTS

Thanks, the solution made by ipeakermint did the work.

Now my app is talking again!!!

life saver, for me it worked only forcing reinstall:

pip install --user --force-reinstall --ignore-installed --no-binary :all: your_package
