I just reinstalled Python 3.6, but when I try to install packages, Windows returns errors. First I tried installing package BeautifulSoup from the Windows command prompt:
python -m pip install BeautifulSoup but this returns the following error:
Collecting BeautifulSoup Using cached BeautifulSoup-3.2.1.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-iiyyxs2o\BeautifulSoup\setup.py", line 22 print "Unit tests have failed!" ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print' ---------------------------------------- Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-iiyyxs2o\BeautifulSoup\ Then I tried installing package requests:
python -m pip install requests but this returns
