How solve "python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully" in Anaconda, installing rasa


I recently installed Anaconda and Python (3.11.4). I created my env in Anaconda, and when I tried to install rasa (with "pip install rasa") conda showed me this error. Please help me

ERROR when i installed rasa pip

  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.

      RuntimeError: Python version 2.7 or 3.4+ is required.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

I tried uninstalling Python, and "conda clean --all" in Anaconda Prompt. But it doesn't work.


Solution

  • In the official Rasa documentation, it says that it is not compactible with modern Python versions. The most current and 100% compact is installing python3.8

    wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.0/Python-3.8.0.tar.xz
    tar -xf Python-3.8.0.tar.xz
    cd Python-3.8.0
    ./configure --enable-optimizations
    make
    sudo make altinstall
    

    And to create your application.(example on tmp path)

    cd /tmp/myapp
    python3.8 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    pip install rasa
    source venv/bin/activate
    

    Attention, you may get an outdated pip error

    pip install --upgrade pip
