hydrus setup install failing

I’m submitting a

• bug report.
• feature request.

Current Behaviour:

Presently on following the instructions as described in Readme to setup local server the following error occurs while running python setup.py install

  File "setup.py", line 8, in <module>
    from pip._internal.download import PipSession
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal.download'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 10, in <module>
    from pip.req import parse_requirements
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip.req'  

I digged around a little for the solution and stumbled upon this

https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7645 https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7645#issuecomment-578204001

this is a recently opened issue stating " that any of the code imported from pip may break anytime in future"

Expected Behaviour:

We can install the project locally

Steps to reproduce:

Just follow the instructions given to install the hydus locally

Do you want to work on this issue?

You can try adding this code:- def parse_requirements(filename): """ load requirements from a pip requirements file """ lineiter = (line.strip() for line in open(filename)) return [line for line in lineiter if line and not line.startswith("#")] Steps for adding:- 1.)create a directory pip/ 2.)add an empty file pip/init.py 3.)add a file pip/req.py 4.)put the code above into pip/req.py: 5.)modify the line in setup.py “reqs = install_reqs”

If it doesn’t work, try downgrading your pip version.

Downgrading pip to version 19.3.1 works like a charm, i think it should be mentioned in the requirements file till the time the bug is fixed in the latest pip release
