OS: Windows 10
Python ver: 3.9.0
Error code:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
I tried:
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -U matplotlib
didn’t work.
and then I tried:
pip install --upgrade setuptools
didn’t solve the problem.
I read on SO that maybe if I open the shell in administrator mode it could solve the problem but it didn’t work too.
I saw someone mentioning ez-setup for this error code. I installed it but that didn’t work too.
I don’t know if it has something to do but my C directory looks like this:
C:\Users\METİNUSTA
It has an uppercase i character which sometimes can cause problems with applications. I can’t change it because I am using my school’s Windows key and it don’t let me do any change. Because of this I installed python on D: .
Also here my pip list for extra information:
ez-setup 0.9
flake8 3.8.4
mccabe 0.6.1
pip 20.2.4
pycodestyle 2.6.0
pyflakes 2.2.0
setuptools 50.3.2
wheel 0.35.1
and finally whole error log that I get on windows powershell:

Worked for me.

matplotlib hasn’t made a wheel yet for version 3.9 so your python attempted to build it from source. You should downgrade to python 3.8 and then everything should work
