Virtualenv OSError - setuptools pip wheel failed with error code 1
I tried for hours, read lots of posts and finally find a way out.
pip uninstall virtualenv
conda install virtualenv
The reason is the virtualenv installed by pip is not compatible with conda. I don't know more details, but it works for me.
I got this error while having several python versions installed on my mac. Specifying which python version to be used for your new virtual environment solves the issue.
By specifying the absolute python path:
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 venv
or use your default python link:
virtualenv -p python3 venv
I had this same issue while installing requirements from requirements.txt
.
This was what solved the problem for me.
pip install --upgrade virtualenv
pip install --upgrade pip
After doing this, if you ever get errors while trying to install a dependency like below

Then use pip --no-cache-dir install <package-name>
to install the package; where <package-name>
is the name of the package you want to install.
e.g pip --no-cache-dir install pbr
