Your version of setuptools, v1.1.6, is extremely old (the current version is v43.0.0!) It looks like Cheetah needs version 36 or greater, so it's trying an upgrade, but is unable to do so.
The reason why is that pip is attempting to uninstall the old version of setuptools, which is located under /System/Library, which is protected by the Mac's "System Integrity Protection" (SIP). Even though you are running as root, SIP won't let pip uninstall the old version. What to do? You can try the option --ignore-installed. This will cause pip to just go ahead with the install, and not try to uninstall the old version. Because pip installs to /Library/Python, which is not protected by SIP, it will succeed. *sudo pip --install Cheetah --ignore-installed.* If you're uneasy about doing that, there are a few other options: 1. Install python by using brew. This will install a brand new version of python in /usr/local, which is not protected by SIP. Then, using that version of python, use pip to install the prerequisites. They will install to /usr/local/lib. 2. Install python by using pyenv (this is what I do). This will install python in ~/.pyenv, which, of course, is not protected. An added benefit is that pyenv allows you to manage many different versions of python. If you run as a daemon, just use a direct path to the python executable. It will automatically find the libraries installed by pip using that version of python. 3. Install using pip, but use the --user flag. This will install in ~/.local. No root privilege required. However, if you run as a daemon, you will have to specify the library directory as a PYTHONPATH. Probably option #1 is easiest and safest. -tk On Tue, Dec 31, 2019 at 12:07 PM David Bach <[email protected]> wrote: > thanks for the reply. > > here's the command-line output > > WeatherMini:~ dsbach$ sudo pip install Cheetah > DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, > 2020.
