pip install FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:

Question

I am trying to install behave-parallel using pip install. I have installed programmes previously using pip so I know my Python/script path is correct in my env variables. However I am seeing the following error

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\.....Temp\\pip-install-rjiorrn7\\behave-parallel\\setup.py' 

how can I resolve this issue

C:\Users\.....>pip install behave-parallel
Collecting behave-parallel
 Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/05/9d/22f74dd77bc4fa85d391564a232c49b4e99cfdeac7bfdee8151ea4606632/behave-parallel-1.2.4a1.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

Answer 1

In my case with the same error, the solution was to do

pip3 install --upgrade pip 

It was my pip3 that was in version 9.X were it's now in version 19.X

Answer 2

The package is simply broken, as it is missing the setup.py file.

$ tar tzvf behave-parallel-1.2.4a1.tar.gz | grep setup.py
$

You might be able to download the source from Github or wherever and package it yourself (python setup.py bdist_wheel), then install that wheel (pip install ../../dist/behave-parallel...whl).
