Unable to install PyCharm "debugger speedups using cython"

  • 772

  1. Ubuntu 16.04.

  2. Successfully installed PyCharm 2016.3.3.

  3. When start debugging, message comes up stating warning: Debugger speedups using cython not found. Run '"/usr/bin/python3.5" "/usr/share/pycharm/pycharm-community-2016.3.3/helpers/pydev/setup_cython.py" build_ext --inplace' to build.

Fair enough. But when I try to do this command (as others have done, apparently successfully), I get:

Non-zero exit code (1): 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/pycharm/pycharm-community-2016.3.3/helpers/pydev/setup_cython.py", line 25, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named 'setuptools'

I have no idea what is missing/how to solve?

    OK, answering my own question, it was a non-installed package....

    I had tried apt-get install python-setuptools, to no effect. Then I tried apt-get install python3-setuptools, now it does its cython stuff and all is well.

    Maybe you have to do all your install commands with python3 instead of plain python.

    Is there an apt-get to get all the python tools I am likely to need in developing python apps?
