While Python3 is the modern standard and Py2 is EOL as of 2020, if you are targeting integration with any current release of common vfx DCCs like Maya, Nuke, Houdini, etc, then you are still targeting python 2.7. At some point one of them is going to commit to an embedded python3 environment. So your best bet for now is to code in a py2/3 compatible way via python-future (or six library) so that your code works now in py2 and will be ready immediately for py3 > So I went into Pycharm and set myself up a new project with a venv and > tried to run the following: > > *pip3 install > git+https://github.com/ben-hearn-sb/collection_cleanup.git#egg=collection_cleanup > <https://github.com/ben-hearn-sb/collection_cleanup.git#egg=collection_cleanup>* > > Instead of an src folder being created and my git repo being cloned to it, > I get the following error instead: > > *Collecting collection_cleanup from > git+https://github.com/ben-hearn-sb/collection_cleanup.git#egg=collection_cleanup > <https://github.com/ben-hearn-sb/collection_cleanup.git#egg=collection_cleanup>* > * Cloning https://github.com/ben-hearn-sb/collection_cleanup.git > <https://github.com/ben-hearn-sb/collection_cleanup.git> to > /private/var/folders/wq/h99zwqzd067fmnyqktf9q0dh0000gn/T/pip-install-uwdlmrmv/collection-cleanup* > * Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:* > * running egg_info* > * creating pip-egg-info/collection_cleanup.egg-info* > * writing pip-egg-info/collection_cleanup.egg-info/PKG-INFO* > * writing dependency_links to > pip-egg-info/collection_cleanup.egg-info/dependency_links.txt* > * writing top-level names to > pip-egg-info/collection_cleanup.egg-info/top_level.txt* > * writing manifest file > 'pip-egg-info/collection_cleanup.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'* > * error: package directory 'distutils' does not exist* > > * ----------------------------------------* > *Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in > /private/var/folders/wq/h99zwqzd067fmnyqktf9q0dh0000gn/T/pip-install-uwdlmrmv/collection-cleanup/* > > I was looking around online for the solution to why distutils is missing > this but could not find it at all.
