Python - Can't Install Packages: TypeError: unorderable types: NoneType() >= str()

Question

System: Win7 64, Python 3.4, Pycharm 3.0.2, MinGW

Whenever I try to install a package, in Pycharm or via command line, I get this:

running install
ru         


        

Answer 1

On Windows 7 with Python 3.42, I could solve this problem with what I found in this thread: Going to the Python34\Lib folder, typing dist-info into the search box in the upper right corner of the folder view and deleting all folders found. This already worked two times for me after I could not install anything anymore via pip without getting the error message this thread is about.
