ImportError: No module named ipython_genutils

[cristianmtr]

I'm running Python 2.7 on Windows 7 x64. I installed ipython and jupyter with pip. When doing "ipython notebook" I got the error "ImportError: No module named ipython_genutils". I was able to fix this by downloading this repo and installing it "python setup.py install". Is this normal?

[takluyver]

If you did pip install jupyter, that should have pulled in ipython_genutils as a dependency.

[cristianmtr]

I did that, and I was still getting the error

[nikolas]

I also did that and still got the error. I had to explicitly list ipython_genutils==0.1.0 in requirements.txt.

@nikolas can you share the output of the install command?

[minrk]

And pip list?

[peter-d]

I had the same issue, python 2.7 on linux. Specifically adding ipython_genutils indeed fixed the problem. It seems it does not get installed when installing jupyter or ipython.

[minrk]

Can anyone provide a complete example that reproduces the problem (including pip, setuptools, Python and OS version)? ipython_genutils is listed as a strict dependency, and does get installed when you install these things with pip, so I'm wondering what it is that's allowing dependencies to be left out.

after install ipython with no complains, ipython --versionoutput:

any helps?

[takluyver]

I'm still not sure how people get this. pip install ipython_genutils should fix it.

pip (1.5.6)

That's quite old, it's recommended that you upgrade by running:

pip install --upgrade setuptools pip

Following your instructions above, it complains "ImportError: No module named pathlib2", after pip install pathlib2, it now works, thanks. @takluyver

ipython_genutils

the output of pip listis: backports.shutil-get-terminal-size (1.0.0) cycler (0.10.0)

I'm not really sure, but for those that is interested, in my case, the bug might be due to:

1. Create an environment that contains jupyter
2. Running a cell that contains !pip install that alter package in the environment.
3. Running notebooks via script in sequential make second notebook use packages altered by the first notebook.

It ended up this import error due tu incompatibilities.
