Error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pyparsing>=1.5.5')

[RockyZhangHKU]

I want to install the charm cryptography library on my Ubuntu (16.04) and the python version is 2.7.12. While I meet a error like this when executing make install.

No local packages or download links found for pyparsing>=1.5.5
error: Could not find suitable distribution for
Requirement.parse('pyparsing>=1.5.5')
Makefile:97: recipe for target 'install' failed

This is the output info when executing make install command.

I have tried to fix this error and google some solution, someone said I should install pip and python setuptools and then install an old version of pyparsing (1.5.7). But this will appear another error also about pyparsing. I guess the key issue is pyparsing, and these are the files under the folder python2.7/dist-packages as following.

root@rocky-VirtualBox:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages# ls

pip-9.0.1.dist-info                       setuptools.pth
pkg_resources

why terminal still claim that No local packages or download links found for pyparsing>=1.5.5?

Good Afternoon,

Have you tried

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools sudo easy_install pyparsing
