get-pip bailing out while trying to import colorama on AIX

[schmir]

I get the following error trying to run get-pip.py on a machine running AIX 7.1 with python 2.7.5:

$ py27/bin/python get-pip.py  --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "get-pip.py", line 20479, in 
    main()
  File "get-pip.py", line 20471, in main
    bootstrap(tmpdir=tmpdir)
  File "get-pip.py", line 20411, in bootstrap
    import pip
  File "/tmp/tmpuabmtc/pip.zip/pip/__init__.py", line 9, in 
  File "/tmp/tmpuabmtc/pip.zip/pip/log.py", line 9, in 
  File "/tmp/tmpuabmtc/pip.zip/pip/_vendor/colorama/__init__.py", line 2, in 
  File "/tmp/tmpuabmtc/pip.zip/pip/_vendor/colorama/initialise.py", line 5, in 
  File "/tmp/tmpuabmtc/pip.zip/pip/_vendor/colorama/ansitowin32.py", line 6, in 
  File "/tmp/tmpuabmtc/pip.zip/pip/_vendor/colorama/winterm.py", line 2, in 
  File "/tmp/tmpuabmtc/pip.zip/pip/_vendor/colorama/win32.py", line 7, in 
  File "/opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 10, in 
    from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
ImportError: No module named _ctypes

I don't it makes sense to import colorama.win32 on this machine.

is there a way to turn off colorised output as a workaround?

Hi, I'm getting this same error on AIX 6.1. It appears from this thread that the error has been fixed. However, I don't believe it is reflected in get-pip.py yet because I still get the error. Is there a way to get the latest get-pip.py that reflects these changes? Thanks.

Hi again,

I downloaded the latest version of get-pip.py (dated 11/4/2014) and I'm still getting this error on AIX 6.1. Is this not fixed? Thanks.

This has not been released yet.

[vinhdizzo]

I see. Is it in the git repo? That is, if I am able to generate the get pip
file, will that version include this fix?

Company unfortunately has AIX, and I'm trying to make the system useful.

If not, do you have any suggestions? I tried compiling python from source
but ctype failed to compile. Thanks.

The develop branch has the fix, however get-pip.py will attempt to install the version of pip that is released on PyPI. If you want to use the development branch your best bet is probably to get a tarball from the develop branch and run setup.py install from it.

Will try and report back. Hopefully there isn't any dependencies. Trying to
get pip so it can handle all dependencies :)

Tried to install using setup.py, but it required setuptools. Tried to install setuptools, and there too is a dependency on ctypes:

$ python setup.py --user
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 19, in <module>
    exec(init_file.read(), command_ns)
  File "<string>", line 11, in <module>

    from setuptools.extension import Extension
  File "/sas/outmva/vinh/setuptools-7.0/setuptools/extension.py", line 8, in <module>
    from .dist import _get_unpatched
  File "/sas/outmva/vinh/setuptools-7.0/setuptools/dist.py", line 18, in <module>
    from setuptools import windows_support
  File "/sas/outmva/vinh/setuptools-7.0/setuptools/windows_support.py", line 2, in <module>
    import ctypes
  File "/opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 10, in <module>
    from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
ImportError: No module named _ctypes

Any other thoughts on getting pip installed without ctypes? Thanks.
