Python pip conflict for robotframework-selenium2library

Question

I've tried to install robotframework-selenium2library but taken a pkg_resources.VersionConflict error:

Downloading/unpacking robotframework-selenium2library

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/robotframework-selenium2library
Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log

Not so many packages have been already installed:

pip list
> apparmor (2.9.4)
> LibAppArmor (2.9.4)
> pip (1.5.6)
> pygobject (3.14.0)
> robotframework (3.0.2)
> robotframework-databaselibrary (1.0.1)
> selenium (3.4.3)
> setuptools (3.6)

python --version
> Python 2.7.12

Does anybody know how to resolve that issue?

The version of robotframework-selenium2library at PyPI (1.8.0) is rather old and supports only Python 2 while you're trying to install it with Python 3. Either use Python 2.7 or get the new code for the framework from GitHub.

It was used Python 2.7; I'll try to install it independently of pip, thanks

Manual python setup.py install from git for the library do the job

I review the github Seleniumlibrary, and you can use:

pip install --pre --upgrade robotframework-seleniumlibrary
