Cannot install Pipenv from Git

[AlexP11223]

I was trying to install pipenv from Git as suggested in #3902 (looks like I also need to add #egg=pipenv, otherwise it gives error about this) on PopOS (Ubuntu) 19.04: pip3 install --user -e git+https://github.com/pypa/pipenv.git@master#egg=pipenv

but got this error:

(calling without --user is the same, it complains about some other command inside)

Why reported here? it is a pip issue. isn't it?

[AlexP11223]

I don't know, could be something wrong in pipenv setup code too.

pip3 install --user -e git+https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions.git#egg=django-extensions from some google example seems to work.

[frostming]

@AlexP11223 So what is the output without --user flag?

[AlexP11223]

it's the same

Leave it open since I don't have quota to look into it now.

[AlexP11223]

hm, I updated pip from 18.1 to 19.2.2 (pip3 install --upgrade setuptools pip), the error with --user is still the same but now it worked without --user and with sudo, allowing me to use pipenv via python3 -m pipenv.

So it seems an issue with pip and perhaps setuptools.
