How can I fix pip install error: 'EnvironmentError: [Errno 42] Illegal byte sequence'?












0















I am trying to download kivy module using pip.



When I run the pip install command, I got an error: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 42] Illegal byte sequence.



I already re-installed python, I am running as an administrator and I also tried to download via the wheel file. All of the above causes the same environment error.

  • Please check python path is added in environment variable or not.

There seems to be a bug in pip https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5665.
The current workaround is to run the command in silent mode



pip install kivy -q


or



pip install kivy --progress-bar=off

    pip install kivy -q


    (Not a solution, a workaround - This is a bug in displaying progress bar in pip. Above command hides the progress bar while installing)



    Solution based on this.
