ERROR: diamond requires Python '==2.7' but the running Python is 2.7.16 #731

Closed SiqingYu closed 4 years ago

SiqingYu commented 5 years ago

Environment: Ubuntu 19.04

I am trying to set up the environment as instructed by The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python:

$ git clone https://github.com/python-diamond/Diamond.git
$ virtualenv -p python2 venv  # It's not Python 3 compatible yet...
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv)$ cd Diamond/
(venv)$ pip install --editable .

Then pip throws out an error:

ERROR: diamond requires Python '==2.7' but the running Python is 2.7.16

Hi. I'm getting the same error as you while following the book.

The problem seems can be fixed by editing in setup.py at setup()

from python_requires='==2.7' to your specific version of python (in your case 2.7.16) python_requires='==2.7.16'

To run the test I also need to install: pip install redis

Hope that helps,
