Python: Cannot install googletrans

I try to install googletrans https://pypi.org/project/googletrans/

by running this command as adviced:

$ pip install googletrans

but I always get same error both at python 3.5 and python 2.7:

Collecting googletrans
Using cached googletrans-3.0.0.tar.gz (17 kB)
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement httpx==0.13.3 (from googletrans) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for httpx==0.13.3 (from googletrans)

I tried different commands but I still cannot figure out what is wrong. Install of httpx also fails:

pip install httpx
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement httpx (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for httpx

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Solution

  • Please read the official pages next time: https://github.com/encode/httpx

    HTTPX requires Python 3.6+.

    In other words, in order to install googletrans, its dependency httpx needs to be installed, and that can only happen if you have Python 3.6 or higher.
