Help with python install - jeffvanderdoes - 04-25-2017
Hi all,
I'm trying to use python 3.5 on LinuxLite 3.4. I've installed and all went well. However whe I try to add a python module with pip and pip3 I get an error. For example
$ pip install holidays
Collecting holidays
Collecting python-dateutil (from holidays)
Using cached python_dateutil-2.6.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Requirement already satisfied: six>=1.5 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from python-dateutil->holidays)
Installing collected packages: python-dateutil, holidays

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hello jeffvanderdoes,
my ideas or suggestion uninstall and purge Python 3.5 and try again using Python 2 which is preinstalled in LL.

Second best thing when asking a question is being able to answer your own question...
One should install with --user such as the following... $ pip install --user holidays
Hope it helps someone else...
