I found myself this morning trying to get a Python stack running on an Ubuntu instance only to hit this crap:
Installing collected packages: numpy, pytz, six, python-dateutil, pandas, nltk, pyparsing, cycler, kiwisolver, matplotlib, kafka-python, pyyaml, murmurhash, zipp, importlib-metadata, catalogue, plac, tqdm, setuptools, srsly, cymem, preshed, blis, wasabi, thinc, idna, urllib3, certifi, chardet, requests, spacy, pluggy, attrs, py, more-itertools, wcwidth, packaging, pytest, langdetect, spacy-langdetect, editorconfig, jsbeautifier, docutils, jmespath, botocore, s3transfer, boto3, torch, dataclasses, tokenizers, click, joblib, regex, sacremoses, filelock, sentencepiece, transformers, scipy, scikit-learn, gunicorn, WebOb, firefly-python, pycparser, cffi, zstandard, lefthook, termcolor, fire, redis, sseclient, absl-py, protobuf, markdown, pyasn1, pyasn1-modules, cachetools, rsa, google-auth, tensorboard-plugin-wit, werkzeug, grpcio, wheel, oauthlib, requests-oauthlib, google-auth-oauthlib, tensorboard, future, pytorch-lightning
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
So I guess it is time to do the Python upgrade dance. Here you go:
pip3 install --upgrade pip
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install python3.7
sudo pip3 install --upgrade virtualenv
