Pip install error exit status 1 with Clearbit API-CodePudding

I am trying to pip install clearbit per the following guidance: Link 1 Link 2

I am on Python 3.9.7 and pip version 21.3. I have also updated my setuptools per other stackoverflow answers.

The command I am running on my Mac Terminal is:

pip install clearbit

But I am met with a series of errors. An example error block states:

  Using cached clearbit-0.0.2.tar.gz (2.9 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

I can't find any guidance on how to troubleshoot this issue. I wondered if anyone has any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I'm quite new to Python and CLI so any help would be appreciated!

CodePudding user response：

According to the package classifiers (see it here), it seems like clearbit cannot be installed on Python 3.9, because it is not on the classifiers. You have to ask the maintainers to release a Python 3.9 compatible release.

Another issue (that you should note) is that clearbit is using the setuptools use_2to3 command (which is now unsupported).

Anyway, you should ask the project developers for help, or just downgrade your Python version to a compatible one (however, this is not so efficient).
