How Python Pip broken wiith sys.stderr.write(f“ERROR: {exc}”) error occurs ?

I Have Installed Python in my CentOs-7. I want to update my pip. So I just use pip install –upgrade pip this command to update my pip.

Question : How to solve Python pip broken with sys.stderr.write(f”ERROR: {exc}”) ?

Answer: This Problem Is Caused due to PIP community dropped support to 2.7. So You just have to upgrade pip to latest version.

Solution 1

This Problem Is Caused due to PIP community dropped support to 2.7. So You just have to upgrade pip to latest version.

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.

To fix this and continue with unsupported Python 2.7 you should not upgrade to the latest pip version but to a version < 21.

pip install --upgrade "pip < 21.0"

Solution 2


You can get an older version (2.7) of get-pip.py

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py

      In my opinion, you should create a python2 virtualenv and install your python2 package in it, as well as pip2. For example, when I installed cuckoo sandbox, I did it like this:

      virtualenv –python=python2 cuckoo/ # make your virtualenv folder with python2
      cd cuckoo
      source bin/activate
      curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/2.7/get-pip.py –output get-pip.py # get pip for python2
      python get-pip.py # install pip in your virtualenv
      pip install cuckoo # install your python2 package
