Mapillary won’t pip install on my machine, I’m using python 3.13, and it keeps saying my setuptools and wheel have problems but I tried upgrading, downgrading, reinstalling, doing literally everything, but nothing works. It is so frustrating, please someone help me
Oh, I’m sorry, I’m new to coding in general, I should have read the rules. Here is the input:
pip install mapillary
and the output:
ERROR: Exception:

I didn’t really understand this so I asked ChatGPT and it told me to upgrade and downgrade my setuptools, wheel, upgrade my pip, and stuff and see if it works; it doesn’t.
I do have multiple python versions, but I am installing the module in my venv for the repo I have, and using the venv’s python.exe.
I used the Windows Installer Package.
Do not use this non‑sense. Think for yourself. Read the Beginner’s Guide to Python first.
I think you have the wrong impression, I only used ChatGPT because I was stuck for a long time, otherwise I do refrain from using it. Also, I have previous experience with python, not a complete beginner.
By saying “new to coding”, I meant that I have about a year of coding under my belt.
In any event, questions regarding Python itself, pip, and installing packages with pip should be directed to the Official Python Forum.
That’s alright, I could move to the other forum, but could you try to help since we’re already here? Thank you!
Thank you for the answer. I don’ t know if I want to downgrade because it would reset my venv and I don’t have a requirements.txt set up yet. I’m getting by so far using requests.
If I end up needing the module, I guess I’ll try cloning that repo and adding python 3.13 to their list.
Thank you for answering!

Python 3.13 is super new and a lot of packages (like Mapillary) might not support it yet. Try creating a virtual environment with Python 3.10 or 3.11 and install it there.
