Installation of Mailgun Django fails on Ubuntu 16.04. Running ‘pip install mailgun_django --debug’ reports a 404 error.
$ pip install mailgun_django --debug
Error: No valid distribution found for mailgun_django
i had a similar hiccup. clearing pip cache and reinstalling with --no-cache-dir flag fixed it on my machine. also check if your python env settings are all good. hope that helps!
I had a similar error during a recent project. I later found that there was some confusion over package naming conventions. Instead of using mailgun_django, the correct package name turned out to be mailgun-django. After switching the package name in the install command, the installation succeeded without issues. I was also reminded to check pip versions occasionally, as older versions sometimes cannot properly handle new naming structures. If you still encounter problems, consider upgrading pip and verifying any additional dependency settings.
In my own experience, the issue resolved after I revisited the version requirements listed on the package’s PyPI page. My installation device was using an older Debian-based image, so updating the system packages made a difference. After ensuring that my system dependencies were up-to-date, I used a virtual environment to avoid conflicts with system libraries. Eventually, the issue turned out to be linked to an outdated configuration in my local setup rather than the package itself.
I experienced a similar problem when trying to install this package. In my case, the issue was due to the package’s name. I initially used mailgun_django and after spending some time troubleshooting I found that the correct name was mailgun-django. Once I corrected the package name, the installation process went smoothly. Additionally, updating pip to the latest version helped prevent other dependency issues that could arise from using an older version. I recommend double-checking both the package name and your pip version before trying alternative steps.
I encountered a similar issue on an Ubuntu 16.04 setup during a recent project. It turned out that the problem wasn’t solely related to naming but also to the specific Python environment in use. I was initially using the default pip which pointed to an outdated cache of source distributions. After switching to pip3 and ensuring that the correct repository sources were referenced, the installation succeeded. Verifying network configurations and environment isolation through a virtual environment also helped in reproducing a clean installation experience.
