pip install doesn't work

[karteek-paruchuri]

Hi

I'm trying to run this code on Azure ubuntu 14.10 vm.
I installed pip (pip 1.5.4 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7))
Now when i try "sudo pip install projectoxford"
I get the following output
Downloading/unpacking projectoxford
Downloading projectoxford-0.3.1.zip
Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip_build_root/projectoxford/setup.py) egg_info for package projectoxford
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/tmp/pip_build_root/projectoxford/setup.py", line 12, in
with open('README', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
TypeError: 'encoding' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

File "/tmp/pip_build_root/projectoxford/setup.py", line 12, in

with open('README', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/projectoxford
Storing debug log for failure in /home/kparuchuri/.pip/pip.log

Can you please help me out.

Thanks

I'm having the same issue. Did you find a solution?
thx

EDIT: Fixed it by writing pip install projectoxford
Having both Python 2.7 and 3.5 versions installed seemed to be the issue. This library is supposed to run on 3.5 so to direct the installation to the right place you need to use pip3

The ReadMe.rtf in Python 2.7 says:

Python 3 and Python 2 Co-existence

Python.org Python 2.7 and 3.x versions can both be installed on your system and will not conflict. Python 2.7 command names contain a 2 or no digit: python2 (or python2.7 or python), idle2 (or idle2.7 or idle), pip2 (or pip2.7 or pip), etc. Command names for Python 3 contain a 3 in them, python3, idle3, pip3, etc.

Know problem in Weasyprint : Kozea/WeasyPrint#323
Just need to upgrade Weasyprint to version 0.29 that fixes it.
