My Path says:

export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.13/bin:$PATH

When i follow through and actually look at where the PATH ends up, here is what I get:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

#

i can't say exactly what's going on, but i know distutils was removed from the standard library in 3.12+

#

usage of distutils.sysconfig was apparently removed since pipenv's 2022.8.5 release

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:10 PM

#

oo

#

hmm, is it too early to use 3.13?

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:11 PM

#

but judging from your earlier traceback i assume you have the latest version already, 2024.2.0

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:12 PM

#

ye pretty sure, and now because of "no module named distutils" pipenv isn't actually installing other modules as well

in that case, pip is probably out of date

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:14 PM

Inheritanc-e qt6 %:python3 -m pip --version
pip 24.2 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.13/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pip (python 3.13)

i don't think it is

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:15 PM

#

the latest version of pip i could find where the statement from distutils.util import strtobool exists is 20.3.4
https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/20.3.4/src/pip/_internal/cli/cmdoptions.py#L18
that line was then subsequently removed in pip 21.0

that's your global pip installation, not necessarily the same one being used in the virtualenv

#

this is what I got while trying to check the pip in the venv

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:17 PM

#

how does pipenv normally upgrade pip?

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:19 PM

#

wdym?

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:20 PM

#

when i use the virtualenv tool, it has a --upgrade-embed-wheels option that updates the default packages included in new virtual environments i create, i.e. pip, setuptools, and sometimes wheel

#

does pipenv have something similar? the errors would suggest the version of pip included in their virtual environments is <21.0

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:22 PM

#

rustic totem when i use the virtualenv tool, it has a `--upgrade-embed-wheels` option that up...

my venv also has that

#

should I use it?

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:22 PM

#

hmm, is it possible for you to use ensurepip to upgrade it? as in: sh pipenv run python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:23 PM

#

cunning reef my venv also has that

pipenv also has an --upgrade-embed-wheels option? or do you mean something else?

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:23 PM

#

I don't think pipenv will run any command at all, cause of distills

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:23 PM

#

rustic totem pipenv also has an --upgrade-embed-wheels option? or do you mean something else?

virtualenv

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:23 PM

#

wait, your venv has virtualenv installed inside it?

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:23 PM

#

no i meant my global venv

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:23 PM

#

ah okay

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:24 PM

I did run this,

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:24 PM

#

yup, older than 21.0

#

try installing packages now

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:25 PM

#

aight

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:26 PM

#

cunning reef no i meant my global venv

--upgrade-embed-wheels might actually help with future virtual environments, if pipenv is in the same global venv

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:26 PM

#

its taking a while

#

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:27 PM

#

oh right, pipenv is still invoking distutils...

#

does pipenv have a command to check its own version?

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:28 PM

#

ye

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:29 PM

#

i'd assume pipenv -V or pipenv --version, but their docs don't show what options are available

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:29 PM

#

Inheritanc-e ~ %:pipenv --version
pipenv, version 2020.11.15

#

this is globally

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:29 PM

#

oh ye that's way out of date

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:29 PM

#

^

#

the first release of 3.12, when distutils was removed from stdlib, was in october of 2023

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:30 PM

#

lol, i haven't used python in a while that's why

#

leme upgrade pipenv

#

Installing collected packages: pipenv
Successfully installed pipenv-2024.2.0

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:33 PM

#

as well, distutils was first deprecated by PEP 632 when python 3.10 released in 2021, so pipenv couldn't have predicted its removal back in 2020

cunning reef Oct 24, 2024, 1:35 PM

#

I see. Now it's just the pipfile locking process which is taking a while.

#

Thanks for the help btw @rustic totem. you mind if i keep this open till the process is completely done?

rustic totem Oct 24, 2024, 1:37 PM

#

no worries
