python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully. WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -yaudio

Question

I need some help please... I tried to instal pydictionary and it give me the same errors and warnings. And for anything else the Warning is the same and I can not understand why. I went to that directory to see what is in there but is empty.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install PyDictionary

I tried to upgrade pip and tools in cmd but that warning is still there. I uninstall the pyaudio to see if that is the problem but still the same errors. I hope someone can help me with this problem please I appreciate your help

Answer 1

If you have visual studio code, try to install the packages from the terminal there. Once the error pops up on the terminal in Visual Studio Code, hold ctrl + click on the path and it should take you to the actual folder. What you then want to do is delete the folders that starts with ~. Hope this helps.
