I'm trying to install under Python 3.6.4 on CentOS 6.

Older versions of csvkit (I think the last one was 1.0.4) installed fine.

With Python 3.9.5 and Fedora34 I am currently encountering the very same issue. A difference is the Building PyICU message, which for me gives for ICU 67.1 as version.

I've updated agate on GitHub to not require PyICU. You can try installing agate from GitHub:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/wireservice/agate.git#egg=agate

and then try installing csvkit. Let me know if it works, and I'll create a release of agate.

Or, try to install PyICU: https://gitlab.pyicu.org/main/pyicu#installing-pyicu

Thanks for looking into this!

When in a new venv I issue:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/wireservice/agate.git#egg=agate

I get the error: Command "git clone -q https://github.com/wireservice/agate.git /working/software/venv/csvkit/src/agate" failed with error code 128 in None.

Any idea why?

Hmm, I think this is related to your git configuration. I will make a release of agate soon (it'll be version 1.6.3), so you won't have to install from GitHub.
