pip2/3 install not working

See original GitHub issue

I tried to update holoviews with pip2 and pip3 and ran into the following:

± pip2 install holoviews --upgrade --user

My guess is that you have an older version of param, which is providing a version.py file incompatible with the current holoviews. If you don’t have param 1.6.1, I think that first running pip2 install --upgrade --user param or pip3 install --upgrade --user param before upgrading holoviews might solve your problem. (Note: commands not tested.)

This problem of requiring param at install time for pip users occurs because pip must build holoviews from the sdist before installing it; the problem will go away when holoviews provides wheels on pypi (soon!).

The problem of mismatched param and holoviews versions at build time (e.g. for people using the sdist) will be fixed when holoviews specifies build time dependencies and everyone has a new enough version of pip (>=10), i.e. at some point in the future…

Wheels for holoviews and pyviz_comms have now been uploaded.
