Question

Hi,  I want to install kivy on raspberry but get errors.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax   ----- ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: /usr/bin/python /home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/_in_process.py get_requires_for_build_wheel /tmp/tmpyv5tBZ 

Answer 1

There might be some issue with the command you are using to install. Try the following command:

python3 -m pip install --user kivy

Answer 2

Facing exactly the same issue, been struggling to solve this for hours, but nothing worked. Would be great if somebody could guide to a fix.

• OS - Ubuntu 16.04
• Python - 3.7.3

Answer 3

Python 2.7 is not supported anymore in opencv-python-4.3.0.38 the support was dropped since 4.3.0.36,

The workaround I found was to install opencv-python version 4.2.0.32 (which is the latest supported for Python 2.7, see this for all releases) like this:

pip2 install opencv-python==4.2.0.32

Hope this helps!!

If you need to learn more about Python, It's recommended to join Python Training today.

Thanks!

Literally spent 2 hours googling endlessly for a project that runs on python 2, but nothing seems to support it. Your solution was a life saver, thank you.
