Note: installation issues with Python 3.9 and Streamlit

Using Streamlit
1

Hi everyone -

We’re starting to selectively see reports about using Python 3.9 with Streamlit with pip, with compiler errors like the following:

We’ve been evaluating this internally and believe the issue is due to issues with pyarrow when installed from PyPI (i.e. via pip). If you must use Python 3.9 right now, you can work around this issue using conda:

conda create -n streamlitpy39 -c conda-forge python=3.9 pyarrow=1.0 -y
conda activate streamlitpy39
pip install streamlit

(streamlitpy39) rzwitch@threadripper:~$ streamlit hello

  Welcome to Streamlit. Check out our demo in your browser.

  Ready to create your own Python apps super quickly?
  Head over to https://docs.streamlit.io

  May you create awesome apps!

As we continue to explore how to fix this permanently, please feel free to comment below if you have alternative methods for installing streamlit on Python 3.9!

Best,
Randy

I am still getting an issue.
I am using python 3.9 in pycharm from a recent update to 3.8. I am a college student who does not have a lot of experience with python. Thank you so much

DEPRECATION: The -b/--build/--build-dir/--build-directory option is deprecated. pip 20.3 will remove support for this functionality. A possible replacement is use the TMPDIR/TEMP/TMP environment variable, possibly combined with --no-clean. You can find discussion regarding this at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8333.

Hi @Cory_Vogel, welcome to the Streamlit community!

In the error message you are posting:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

Once you install that package however, you are still going to run into the same issue as mentioned above with Python 3.9, until pyarrow fixes its build system. Either use Python 3.8, or you can use conda to install Python:

conda install -c conda-forge streamlit

Hi @randyzwitch, Thank you for your quick response. I am sorry that I am such a beginner at this. Where do I download that package to? I reverted back to 3.8.

No need to apologize for being a beginner!

If you’ve already downgraded to Python 3.8, then you can install the Visual CPP Build tools as my previous message shows, and then you should be able to install Streamlit by running pip install streamlit. It’s only Python 3.9 that has an installation issue.

Separately, Windows and Python can have issues, due to packages the pre-compile code. conda is one solution to working around these issues:

Best,
Randy

Here’s the Arrow 3.9 support issue for anyone who wants to track it:

Seems pretty close to resolution, except maybe on Windows.

An option for installing pyarrow on Python 3.9 with pip is to run the following:

pip install --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/arrow-nightlies/ --pre pyarrow

This carries the downside of ending up with development release versions. But that may be “okay” for now as a stop gap for some cases.
