Pip error in Stash with Python3

[ihf]

When I try to use pip under stash 0.7.4, I get:
stash: <class 'ImportError'>: This package should not be accessible on Python 3. Either you are trying to run from the python-future src folder or your installation of python-future is corrupted.
How to fix?

[ccc]

selfupdate -f # https://github.com/ywangd/stash

Is your default Python 2 or 3?

[ihf]

Ran selfupdate -f. Using Python3. Error persists.

Please provide the command that was typed to generate the InportError and the full log of that error.

@ihf, set this to get a full traceback:

stashconf py_traceback 1

https://github.com/matthewelse/bleep looks like it has not been improved since 2015. At that point it had experimental support for macOS and I see no mention of support for iOS. On the Mac, it talks about brew install boost which is not going to happen on iOS. If you really want to use this module please open an issue on the bleep repo asking for iOS support.

@ccc Were you making a joke? The use of "bleep" was just a placeholder for ANY module that I attempt to install. It is not a function of what I am installing. It's a problem with pip and stash under Python3 (at least with my environment).

@ihf delete the site-packages/xmlrpc folder, or move it to site-packages-2.

File "/private/.../site-packages/xmlrpc/init.py", line 7, in <module>
raise ImportError('This package should not be accessible on Python 3. '

Thats how you can tell. That should not have been installed in site-packages, since xmlrpc comes with python3.

@bennr01 -- probably need to add xmlrpc to the blacklist...

Did you install this package using the -6 parameter or did you use an outdated StaSh version for this installation? Normally, packages should now be installed only in site-package-3 or site-packages-2 depending on the python version, but it seems like xmlrpc is installed in site-packages...

It seems like in this case xmlrpc is provided by the future package.
