Error while installing ggplot in python

Question

I am getting this error when trying to install ggplot in Python:

ImportError: cannot import name unpack_url

I am using the following command:

sudo pip install ggplot

This error is in a linux environment, running fedora 21.

The error is same but this is happening in a linux environment. The other post is in windows. — rgang

The fix mentioned there might still work. What version of python and what distro are you using? — Aereaux

Looks like you might need to update your version of pip itself.

Entertainingly, you can upgrade pip using pip, as per the docs:

On Debian and Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install python-pip 
On Fedora:
sudo yum install python-pip
