✘ Installation Failed 

I do not know much about pipenv, I am just using it – so far without any problems. Now I started from scratch and ran brew update, brew outdated and brew upgrade before.

How do I report that to its maintainers best, and what does "its" mean, Google Ads or Pipenv? Is there something else I could do?

Update:

Following tai271828's advice here are some further information about the system I am using:

I used homebrew to install Python 3 and then pip3 install pipenv.

Update 2:

With simply pip (instead of pipenv) I first ran into the same error, but after updating pip, it worked fine. This was my input:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install google-ads

Update 3:

I tried to follow tai271828's advise, to update my pip in my pipenv env prior to installing the google-ads package. These were my commands:

pipenv --rm
pipenv shell
pip insall --upgrade pip
exit
pipenv install google-ads

The error message still looks similar:

By the way: I upgraded to Python 3.9.1 meanwhile.


Solution

  • It took me a while to figure that out, but it seems to be a problem of pipenv under Python 3.9 (or 3.9.1) in conjunction with the google-ads Module.

    My solution:

    1. downgrading to Python 3.8.6 (For me as rookie it was a struggle, just in case you are interested in that: Switching Python version (3.9 → 3.8) installed by Homebrew)
    2. Upgrading pip inside pipenv

    I did this like that:

    pipenv shell
    pip install --upgrade pip
    exit
    

    Then it finally worked:

    % pipenv install google-ads

    Alternatively, run a command inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.
    

    Hurray!
