After update esp-idf today, I'm no longer make my project due to missing python package

The following Python requirements are not satisfied:
future>=0.16.0
Please run "/usr/bin/python -m pip install -r /home/gigijoe/ESP32/esp-idf/requirements.txt" for resolving the issue.
make: *** [check_python_dependencies] Error 1

/usr/bin/python -m pip install -r /home/gigijoe/ESP32/esp-idf/requirements.txt
/usr/bin/python: No module named pip.__main__; 'pip' is a package and cannot be directly executed

I also try

pip install -r requirements.txt
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pyserial>=3.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from -r requirements.txt (line 4))

My working environment is PC Ubuntu 12.04. Any idea ?

Hi gigijoe,

The Pypi server now requires HTTPS, which very old versions of pip do not use.

You can work around this situation by running:
(as suggested here.)

Please note that Ubuntu 12.04 has been officially End Of Life since April 2017. No updates (including security updates) are provided by Canonical, which is why pip is no longer working. You may want to consider upgrading to the latest Ubuntu Long Term Support release.

Hello Angus

The work around works for me, thank you.
I know 12.04 is old, but I still need to maintain other old projects with it. It's just too dangerous to upgrade any thing.

On Linux Mint 19 - there is no future 0.16 available in the repositories
I tried
pip install --index-url=https://pypi.python.org/simple/ -r requirements.txt

which does not work .... and now - how can I disable the test ?

You can edit the test script to disable it, but if the "future" package isn't installed then you'll get other (weirder) Python errors instead. The test script exists to try and smooth the path past those errors.

I'm surprised you can have "pip" but not "setuptools", I didn't realise this was possible - we may need to add another check somewhere. You may be able to run this:
If this doesn't work, try running
I think one of these two options will succeed for Mint 19.

Yes!
I also needed
<code> pip install --upgrade pip</code>

Great news! We've added "setuptools" as a prerequisite to the Getting Started guides and to requirements.txt itself, now that we know it may not be installed on all systems.

I am also having this problem on my installation today.
I am using Windows 10 and have followed the Get Started for Stable Version V3.1

!!! Completed Toolchain Setup
The quick setup is to download the Windows all-in-one toolchain & MSYS2 zip file from dl.espressif.com:
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp32_win32 ... 180110.zip
Unzip the zip file to C:\

!!! Completed
mkdir -p ~/esp

!!! Completed
cd ~/esp
git clone -b v3.1 --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git

!!! Set IDF_PATH

!!! Installed esp-idf-template example

!!! Error occurs on the make for the template example; see error below:

FluxGS, please try running these 4 commands in order (for Windows/MSYS2):
An updated version of the MSYS2 environment, which doesn't need these steps, will be available ASAP.

EDIT: Fixed order of uninstall and -y

Thank you for your quick response ESP_Angus.

The results of your suggestions were not successful.

You recommended:
python -m pip -y uninstall setuptools
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-python2-setuptools
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-python2-cryptography
python -m pip install --user -r $IDF_PATH/requirements.txt

$ first line resulted in an error that -y is an invalid parameter. I ran the same command without -y
$ second line: $pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-python2-setuptools: ran to completion
Third line failed:
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-python2-cryptography
error: target not found: mingw-w64-i686-python2-cryptography
