Python easy_install wrong version conflict

I try to build docker-compose from source with setuptools like this

python setup.py develop

But I get the follwoing error:

error: requests 2.11.1 is installed but requests!=2.18.0,>=2.14.2 is required by set(['docker'])

but running 

pip show requests

gives the following result:

Name: requests
Version: 2.18.4
Summary: Python HTTP for Humans.
Home-page: http://python-requests.org
Author: Kenneth Reitz
Author-email: [email protected]
License: Apache 2.0
Location: /home/florian/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requires: certifi, chardet, idna, urllib3

Is there anything cached by setuptools or something similar?

Solution

  • There was an issue in the git repo source code, that blocked me from building.
