Problem installing hashlib via pip on Jessie.

[rockstar]

Hi I am trying to install python hashlib on Jessie via pip.

When I do a 'pip install hashlib' I get the error "TypeError: 'frozenset' object is not callable". Full output is below.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thx Rockstar

Well, managed to fix it, so posting here for the next guy.

Another post had a solution:- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3408 ... t-callable

"rm /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hashlib-20081119-py2.7-linux-armv7l.egg"

Thx Rockstar.

You could have already had a "hashlib.py" installed with one of these Debian packages:
