pip install error

[nvcken]

No files/directories in /tmp/pip-build-vOCnC2/python-qt5/pip-egg-info (from PKG-INFO) What I missed ?

We just updated the pip distribution, it's possible something went wrong.

Having a look now.

Hmm, it works fine here.

Could you post the steps you took to produce the error, and the exact error?

Here is what I got.

same error when not sudo pip install My env pip 7.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)

Ok, I see two problems.

1. This distribution is Windows-only.
2. There seems to be some ownership problems.
