I expected it to work but...

This is the install command (the second time I run it) and its output:

silviu@silviu-Inspiron-3537 ~/D/p/geeknote (master)> sudo python setup.py install

The first time I got an error with red in the console (something with fatal), something not in the above command output. I tried deleting all the files and remaking a clone of geeknote but that error still does not appear. What would be the command for uninstall, so that I can show the initial output of the setup command?

Anyway, the next command I ran is:

silviu@silviu-Inspiron-3537 ~/D/p/geeknote (master) [1]> geeknote
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'html2text' distribution was not found and is required by geeknote

The following commands worked well before all the commands above:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install python-setuptools

Also:

silviu@silviu-Inspiron-3537 ~/D/p/geeknote (master) [1]> python --version
Python 2.7.18rc1

I use the fish shell.

Thank you.

I can confirm this to be the case as well, bash.

same thing I also see on ubuntu 18.04: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'version'

I am also having this problem on Ubuntu 20.04
