Error when trying to install pyautogui

I am trying to install pytautogui through pip, but keep running into issues. This is on a Mac. I have tried running the command under python 2.7 as well as 3.6.1, but to no success. 

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/private/var/folders/sz/62b931pd5zjbclx2fzpkww1w0000gn/T/pip-build-0vb25t/pyautogui/setup.py", line 6, in <module>
    version=__import__('pyautogui').__version__,

AssertionError: You must first install pyobjc-core and pyobjc: https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html

What am I missing here, I already installed pyobjc-core but that didnt fix it? Does this look like an issue with pyautogui installer ?

Thanks for your help.

Solution

  • In issue like that you should:

    1. Check if you install the version of pyobjc that compatible with your python version.
    2. Check if you install the both require packages (pyobjc, pyobjc-core)
