It keeps freezing or gives me the
'arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc': error.
One option is to just use the packaged versions of the lxml module.
If you're on Python 3:
apt-get install python3-lxml
Or on Python 2:
apt-get install python-lxml
If you create your virtualenv with --system-site-packages, you will have access to this install of lxml from the virtualenv.
I'm running Raspbian Stretch on my Pi, and it looks like pip install grabs a binary build (so no gcc required):
(venv) pi#lbb:~ $ pip install lxml

I am trying to install setuptools 20.4 or greater as it is a requirement for CKAN. I have tried downloading the rpm files and installing it but CKAN does not recognize the python2 rpm.
I am running a virtualenv for the ckan server under use ckan with the bash shell.
Does anybody have advice on how to properly install setuptools 20.4 or greater on centos?
If not using pip to upgrade setuptools, install/upgrade setuptools before you create the virtualenv.
I believe the rpm will update the system python's setuptools. When you create the virtualenv it copies the system setuptools into the virtualenv.
I had to update python to version 2.7.13 and then download setuptools from the python repository. Centos doesn't have official support for any python above 2.7.5 which is problematic as I have to add exclusions to yum update. Ckan does require setuptools installed this is not optional, on install it is listed as a critical error.
I installed virtualenv with bootstrapper. here in github
When I run virtualenv --version it shows 1.11.4. But I want to upgrade it to version 1.11.6. I use Linux Mint 17
sudo pip install virtualenv --upgrade
I need to install pymongo in 64bit ubuntu/linux . but the downloads is there only for windows and mac. and this is a production setup.
can anyone knows where to download.
Here's the short answer (tested on ubuntu 12.10, quantal quetzal, 64-bit):
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev
pip install pymongo
The best way to install Python packages is with pip. If you don't already have pip, please see the instructions on installing it at http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html.
Once you have pip, you can install PyMongo with:
pip install pymongo
which will download the latest version (currently 2.1). PyMongo uses optional C extensions, so for best performance also install the Python headers and the C build chain. On ubuntu, you can do this with:
aptitude install build-essential python-dev
If you do this after you install PyMongo, you should then reinstall it, to make sure the C extensions are built:
pip install -U pymongo

Is it possible to install psycopg2 into a virtualenv when PostgreSQL isn't installed on my development system—MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6?
When I run pip install psycopg2 from within my virtualenv, I received the error shown below.
I'm trying to connect to a legacy database on a server using Django, and I'd prefer not to install PostgreSQL on my development system if possible.
Why not install PostgreSQL?
I received an error when installing PostgreSQL using homebrew. I have Xcode4—and only Xcode4—installed on my MacBook Pro and am thinking it's related to missing gcc 4.0. However, this is a problem for another StackOverflow question.
Update 8:37 AM on April 12, 2011: I'd still like to know if this is possible without installing PostgreSQL on my MacBook Pro. However, I ran brew update and forced a reinstallation of ossp-uuid with brew install --force ossp-uuid and now brew install postgresql works. With PostgreSQL successfully installed, I was able to pip install psycopg2 from within my virtualenv.

Preliminary Research
Below are the articles I read as preliminary research:
Installing psycopg2 to use Django with PostgreSQL on OS X
Installing psycopg2 on OS X
Using psycopg2 with virtualenv on Ubuntu JauntyLucid
Postgres, psycopg2, virtualenv install hints
apt-get install libpq-dev
helped me on debian squeeze
From comments:
apt-get install python-dev-is-python3
psycopg depends on pg_config command, and if you don't have it, you can't install psycopg.
If system installation is a problem to you, why don't you try compiling PostgreSQL and including generated bin files in your $PATH? Like:
export PATH=/path/to/compiled/postgresql/bin:"$PATH"
pip install psycopg2
brew install postgresql
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
pip3 install psycopg2
apt-get install libpq-dev
helped me in debian squeeze too . After that do pip install psycopg2. I faced problem of pg_config not found problem when i was setting up my environment on heroku , now its working fine .
You need to install the python-dev package in order to make use of python extensions such as psycopg2. I don't know how to install packages in mac but I run the following commands to install a python package on my Ubuntu machine.
sudo apt-get install python-dev
Or
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
if you are using Python3.x.
Once the installation is finished run the following command within your virtual environment.
pip install psycopg2
You don't need the complete PostgreSQL installed: you only need the client side libraries.
I solved it in MAC OSX using :
$ wget https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v9.5.3/postgresql-9.5.3.tar.bz2
$ tar xfv postgresql-9.5.3.tar.bz2
$ cd postgresql-9.5.3
$ ./configure
$ make
$ cd src/bin/pg_config
$ export PATH=`pwd`:"$PATH"
$ pip install psycopg2
Use pip install psycopg2-binary, it worked for me when pip install psycopg2 wasn't working.
Using the method you described in your April 12th update, I was able to install PostgreSQL(+1). Note that I originally was running Python 2.7.1 (32bit) and homebrew threw several errors and warnings regarding using a 32bit version of Python. I have since switched the 64/32 bit version of 2.7.1 and it works like a champ.
Regarding the pyscopg2, I was able to install it into my virtual environment from source by editing setup.cfg. I set pg_config to correct path inside homebrew's Cellar (pg_config=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.0.4/bin/pg_config). After saving the changes, I ran python setup.py install with zero issues. It's worth noting that I did not set the Mac's default python setting to 32 bit. I used the new 64 bit from start to finish.
After looking over some of the documentation, I think if I added homebrew's postgresql path to the system path I could have used pip to install it.

Update 6-8-2011:
While porting a project written on OS X to Windows 7, I found out that I had to install PostgreSQL on Windows as well. This ended up creating another user on my start up screen and other things that I just didn't like. While doing some digging I found Windows drivers for PostgreSQL here. I have since uninstalled the full PostgreSQL and installed the ODBC drivers which, thus far, work great.
To address the original question, after doing a bit more digging I think I found the equivalent ODBC for OS X here. I have not had a chance to try them out, but the concept works very well on Windows 7. I will update this when I get a chance to try them out. Until then, I hope this helps.
All from the above doesn't work for me (OS Catalina 10.15.1)
There was a conflict with classical postgres and homebrew version.
Please delete homebrew version by command
$ brew uninstall postgresql
and then install it from the official website:
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/paths.d && echo /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin | sudo tee /etc/paths.d/postgresapp
It is actual for a simple psycopg2 install or django-heroku package.
if you have recently updated python or changed default python (let's say from 3.6 to 3.8). The following code
sudo apt-get install python-dev OR sudo apt-get install python3-dev
will be installing/working for the previous python version.
so if you want this command to work for the recently updated/changed python version try mentioning that specific version like python3.8 in command like
sudo apt-get install python3.8-dev
try above with following
pip install wheel
export PATH=/path/to/compiled/postgresql/bin:"$PATH"
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
sudo apt-get install python3.x-dev **Change x with your version, eg python3.8**
pip install psycopg2-binary
pip install psycopg2
As I never needed to install postgresql database on this server I installed the following libraries on Ubuntu 14_04 version before running pip install psycopg2 on the same server
apt-get install libpq-dev python-dev
and then executed pip install psycopg2 within virtual env.

I know you are asking for development environment but if you are deploying on server say, Heroku.
Just add below line in the requirements.txt of your project.
django-heroku==0.3.1
As this package itself will install the required packages like psycopg2 on server deployment.
Try to specify the version and it'll works, do it inside the venv
pip install psycopg2-binary==2.8.6
based on my experience, apt install libpq-dev then try to install psycopg2 inside venv will fix many issues, however for more information you can refer to this link:
