Error installing arcgis python library with PIP

GeordieMoffatt — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 18:49:07 GMT

Hi all, I'm trying to install the arcgis python library using PIP. I need to use PIP as I'm installing the library to a custom folder for a custom python 2.7.1 environment (SideFX Houdini, not to be confused with an actual python environment) not the system's python install.

This is the error I get:

c:\python27\lib\distutils\dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'long_description_content_type'
warnings.warn(msg)

TypeError: super() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\pip-install-pztuao\arcgis\

Any help is appreciated!

TNKS!

Are you using the version of pip that comes with the 2.7 install? the one with ArcMap?

And why are you still using 2.7? Is it because you need ArcMap and not PRO? or is the package not supported in python 3.6?

If your package has python 3.6 support, then the Anaconda packages that ship with PRO make package management quite easy with either 'conda' or 'pip'.

If your package isn't part of the normal complement, then you might be able to get it from Anaconda Cloud

From ArcGIS API for Python - System requirements | ArcGIS for Developers:

Python Version
Python 3.5 or later is required to use the ArcGIS API for Python.

I suspect you will have a difficult, if not impossible, time getting the API to install with a Python 2.7.x installation.

Oh ok thanks, unfortunately a lot of computer graphics packages (Maya, Houdini etc) ship with their own internal python environments which are all stuck on v2. Guess I'll have to fall back to REST interface.
