Trouble installing factory_boy with pip

I'm working on a Django project. I'm setting up my environment on another machine and when I run pip install factory_boy, I get the following traceback:

Does anyone know what's happening? I installed factory_boy in a different environment on the same machine and it worked so I'm not sure what's going on.

Solution

  • You need to update setuptools. Like so:

    pip install setuptools --upgrade

    and then

    pip install factory_boy

    should work. sudo may be required in front of those commands depending on your os and setup, but if you're using a virtualenv it shouldn't be an issue.
