How to uninstall pycocotools installed via distils - uninstallation

I have a pycocotools version installed using distils in my system. I want to build and install from a different repo that has more recent changes and which has a issue fixed. But I get the following error. Any idea how I can resolve this issue?
(base) root#tf-notebook-nirandi-855bcb7b58-wxsc9:/notebooks/shared-datasets/shared-datasets/demos/mask-r-cnn# pip install -e git+https://github.com/waleedka/coco.git#egg=coco\&subdirectory=PythonAPI

Installing collected packages: pycocotools
Found existing installation: pycocotools 2.0
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'pycocotools'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

Here I post the final solution.
Step1: Upgrade your pip.
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Step2: Locate the path of the installed pycocotools. One simple try is to reinstall pycocotools, and pip will give you the path
pip install pycocotools
You will get
Requirement already satisfied: pycocotools in /home/frank/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
Now, we know the pkg is at /home/frank/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages.
Step3: Delete related files.
cd /home/frank/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
rm -rf pycocotools
rm -rf pycocotools-2.0-py3.7.egg-info
Over.
Then you can reinstall the lastest version of pycocotools or just never be bothered by this.

How to install pip on Python 2.7 in 2021

I have legacy production servers that are still running Python 2.7.6. We have a local environment built from the docker image for ubuntu 14.04 intended to replicate that environment (things still work there once everything is installed.) The packer build script that creates this environment recently stopped working apparently due to PyPi dropping non-SNI support.
I tried using get-pip.py from the docs to download pip:
wget -c https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
python2 get-pip.py
This gives me the following warning:
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.

The link says that SNI support was dropped:
For users of Python 2.7.{0...8}
Upgrading to the last Python 2.7 release is an option.
However, note that Python 2.7 series itself is now End of Life and support in pip was dropped with version 21.0.
For users of Python 2.6.x and lower:
Neither the Python core developers, or pip maintainers support Python 2.6 and below.
If someone is aware of a work around for this issue (SNI support specifically) they are welcome to share it here for others.
There is no recommended solution from the PyPI team.
How can I get a local environment set up for new developers to work on our legacy application? I've created a new Python 3 dev server and local environment but it will be some time before I can roll out the staging and live environments, get everything moved over, and test it.
As the message says, PyPi has discontinued support for Python <2.7.9 as of May 6th 2021. If you're running a version < 2.7.9 and you cannot upgrade to a newer version of Python then your only option is to manually download the wheels from PyPi.
These are the modification I needed to make to my build script to make it work:
I needed to install software-properties-common and gcc
apt-get install -y software-properties-common gcc
Then I downloaded (setuptools](https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/44.1.1/#files) and unzipped and installed it:
python ./setuptools-44.1.1/setup.py install
Next, I downloaded pip and added it to a folder called wheels. Then I could use the whl file to run pip to get pip
python ./wheels/pip-20.3.4-py2.py3-none-any.whl/pip install --no-index --find-links ./wheels/ pip --ignore-installed
It was suggested to build a Docker container using Ubuntu 16.04 with Python 2.7.17 and use that to download the packages.
pip download -r requirements.txt
But the versions of the packages were wrong, so I ended up going through the requirements.txt and downloading each package manually from PyPi and adding it to the wheels folder. A running instance is useful so you can run pip freeze or look at a requirements.txt file to grab the version numbers of all the packages you need.
Now that I could use pip, I can install my other packages:
python pip install --no-index --find-links ./wheels/ -r /root/requirements.txt
This uncovered some dependencies that I hadn't downloaded packages for yet so I had to go through and download those and added them to the wheels folder. There were a few other things I found needed different versions than I had originally downloaded and a few packages relied on pbr and many more wanted wheel:
pip install --no-index --find-links ./wheels/ pbr==5.5.1 wheel==0.36.2
I also needed to download cMake and add it to the wheels folder
After that I could install my requirements.txt:
pip install --no-index --find-links ./wheels/ -r /root/requirements.txt --ignore-installed
May be late to the party but something similar happened to me while trying to make an HTTPS request with Python 2.7.6 (lack of SNI support). This was causing a lot of issues on a remote web server I work on.
Looking for answers I tried installing urllib3[secure] and entered a loophole since pip was complaining about a lack of SNI support to install this and other packages as well.
I found out this StackOverflow answer which helped me install the required dependencies to make Python 2.7.6 and pip itself support SNI as well as install urllib[secure].
You need to create a folder containing the required wheels (download them from PyPi using wget for instance):
pip, asn1crypto, enum34, idna, six, ipaddress, pyOpenSSL, cffi,
cryptography wheels; and also pycparser (a non-wheel, it will be a
tar.gz)
Make sure the wheels you download support Python 2.7 and that you install pip before the rest of them.
In the original answer, its stated you can use python -m OpenSSL.debug to verify everything worked correctly (a ModuleNotFoundError would mean the pyOpenSSL package was not installed). You can also use pip -Vto check that the new pip version was installed correctly as well.
After updating pip and installing these dependencies I was able to install urllib3[secure] and get SNI support from python as well as pip.
Good luck!
I am sharing this answer as an update to Jonathan Rys's answer that contains the steps required as of the date of this answer. I tried to keep this concise.
As the message says, PyPi has discontinued support for Python <2.7.9 as of May 6th 2021. If you're running a version < 2.7.9 and you cannot upgrade to a newer version of Python then your only option is to manually download the wheels from PyPi.
For Ubuntu 20.04, I have installed build-essential sudo apt-get install build-essential
I installed Python 2 from source, downloading tar bundle and built and installed this. Note, I removed the python command, to avoid that old confusion, so we have python2 and python2.7 and also python3 (for example).
tar xf Python-2.7.18.tgz
cd Python-2.7.18
./configure && make && sudo make install
(cd /usr/local/bin;sudo rm python python-config)
cd ..
Now to get pip installed. Download setuptools zip archive. Then install it:
unzip setuptools-44.1.1.zip
cd setuptools-44.1.1
python2 bootstrap.py
sudo python2 setup.py install
cd ..
Next, I downloaded pip .tar.gz archive. Then unpack and install it. Note, I took extra steps to preserve and restore the original python3 pip in /usr/local/bin. Pip for Python2 are still available as pip2 and pip2.7 in the same directory.
tar xf pip-20.3.4.tar.gz
cd pip-20.3.4
(cd /usr/local/bin;sudo mv pip pip-save)
sudo python2 setup.py install
(cd /usr/local/bin;sudo mv pip-save pip)
Now that I could use pip, I can install the most important package any Python user should install, ipython. Note that I do a user install for this and also preserve my "ipython" command to run python3 and have ipython2 to run python2:
pip2.7 install ipython
(cd ~/.local/bin;rm ipython;ln -s ipython3 ipython)
and it works!
$ ipython2

pip installation error for tensorflow

I was trying to install tensorflow from source on ubuntu 14.04, python 2.7.
I followed the steps from "tensorflow.org" for source installation.
I had completed all the steps, such as bazel installation, python dependencies installation.
In the final step for sudo pip installation; the command was as follows:-
$sudo pip install /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-1.3.0rc0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
but i am getting error as follows:
Unpacking /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-1.3.0rc0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
Downloading/unpacking tensorflow-tensorboard (from tensorflow==1.3.0rc0)

Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for tensorflow-tensorboard (from tensorflow==1.3.0rc0)
Storing debug log for failure in /home/ubuntu/.pip/pip.log
i also checked tensorflow_pkg wheel :but the above package was not available there.
so can a different .whl can be insatlled using pip such as -tensorflow-1.2.1-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
which have downloaded in my desktop.
Please tell me how i can resolve this issue.
Thanks and regards
I didn't figure out the root of the problem, but for what its worth I skipped the tensorboard issue by installing an older version (1.2.0 worked for me)
pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-1.2.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
Try:
pip install tensorflow
If that doesn't work:
sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-1.2.1-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
More info here and Common problems here.
My issue was resolved by following steps.
I updated the pip using
Also exported proxy settings.
e.g export https_proxy=...
This was able to resolve my issue.
I also tried installing other .whl file for tensorflow and yes tensorflow can be installed using the downloaded .whl file also.
Thank you

pyvenv & pip not installing into local site-packages

I'm test driving the Django 1.6b, Python 3.3.2 (compiled from source) and pyvenv with Ubuntu 12.04.
Every time I try and install perform a pip install [package] the package attempts to install itself globally rather than into my local environment. A simple workflow is as follows:
$ pyvenv environments/roebk
$ source environments/roebk/bin/activate
$ (roebk) pip install south
error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/south': Permission denied
I've double checked that I'm using the correct version of pip.
$ pip -V
pip 1.4 from /usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pip-1.4-py3.3.egg (python 3.3)
Am I missing anything obvious?
Did you install setuptools and pip into the environment? virtualenv installs setuptools and pip automatically into a new environment.
$ virtualenv qwerty
New python executable in qwerty/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.
Installing pip...............done.
$
According to the pyvenv docs you need to install them into the new environment manually.
Common installation tools such as Distribute and pip work as expected
with venvs - i.e. when a venv is active, they install Python packages
into the venv without needing to be told to do so explicitly. Of
course, you need to install them into the venv first: this could be
done by running distribute_setup.py with the venv activated, followed
by running easy_install pip. Alternatively, you could download the
source tarballs and run python setup.py install after unpacking, with
the venv activated.
Upon the official docs I thought Python 3.4 would install pip automatically, but it seems, it doesn't:
Changed in version 3.4: Installs pip by default, added the --without-pip and --copies options
EDIT: Somehow I managed to use a Python3.3.2 version also installed on that machine. With Python3.4, it works as expected.

How can I install python-Orange on ubuntu 12.10

sudo apt-get install python-Orange
or
sudo apt-get install python-orange
doesn't work
sudo python setup.py install
sudo python setup.py build
is not working as well.
Can anyone help??
Python has two tools for easy installation of all programs that are listed on the Python Package Index, also known as PyPi: These are easy_install and pip. Both retrieve very recent versions of Orange (and of any other package that is updating its PyPi entry regularly).
I installed Orange on Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) with
pip install orange.
You will see lots of log lines indicating that Pip is downloading and compiling Orange for you. Simply wait. When pip is ready, fire up python and try to import orange. If that works, quit python and try the GUI with python /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Orange/OrangeCanvas/orngCanvas.pyw (you probably want to create a shell alias or bash script for that one :-)
NOTE: on 12.04 I needed to first upgrade 'distribute' itself with sudo easy_install -U distribute but this was clearly indicated by pip.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Orange/2.6/
You need to extract the dowloaded tarball on that page to a folder and then change directory to that folder. Then the sudo python setup.py... instructions will work (but you should 'build' the application before you 'install' it).
go to the given link "https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Orange/2.6/"
download the package and extract the file
install with given command
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
note:- during installation make sure that your net is working because it downloads required packages. Also it may ask for C++ or gcc compilers while installing and could be terminate just read the errors care fully and install requires packages from the synaptic package manage in ubuntu.

How do you install Docutils from the Terminal so that Django admindocs will work?

Docutils is a great package. If you are using Django the admindocs package needs docutils. Instructions are available for installing with a web browser, but what if you are remote and logging in with a terminal over SSH? How to install in that case? What if you just want a quick recipe to do the job with the terminal?
I know I'm rather late to this question, but the accepted answer doesn't really reflect the common best practices from Python community members (and even less so from the Django community members.) While the outlined manual installation process does work, is is far more pains taking and error prone than the following:
You really should be using Pip. With Pip installing docutils system wide is as simple as:
$ sudo pip install docutils
This not only works for docutils but nearly any package on the 'Cheese Shop' as well as many other code repositories (Github, Bitbucket, etc.)
You may also want to look into other common Python best practice tools like virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper so that you can avoid global package installation.
To install Pip on Ubuntu/Debain I generally do the following:
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
BTW: for virtualenv 'sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv' and for virtualenvwrapper 'sudo apt-get install virtualenvwrapper'.
The key to the install is to use the curl utility. The following will install docutils:
mkdir docutilsetup
cd docutilsetup
curl -o docutils-docutils.tar.gz http://docutils.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/docutils/trunk/docutils/?view=tar
gunzip docutils-docutils.tar.gz
tar -xf docutils-docutils.tar
cd docutils
sudo python setup.py install
This performs the following steps: Create a directory to download docutils into. cd into the directory just made, and use curl to download the zipped version of docutils. Unzip the file which creates a subdirectory docutils. cd into that directory and install with root permissions.
If you are using Django you will have to restart Django for admindocs to start working.
Although it is an old thread, I want to share the answer I found. To install type command
sudo apt install python-docutils
or
sudo apt install python3-docutils
This will install the dependencies too. Yesterday, I installed docutils using this command for Geany editor and it is working fine.
