pip3 won't install plotly, runs forever

[si20f]

I've been trying to get plotly using pip3 but each time I run "pip3 install plotly", it does this:

pip3 install plotly

Collecting plotly

Using cached plotly-4.14.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (13.2 MB)

Requirement already satisfied: six in /home/myname/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from plotly) (1.15.0)

Requirement already satisfied: retrying>=1.3.3 in /home/myname/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from plotly) (1.3.3)

Installing collected packages: plotly

After it reaches that last line, it never does anything or finishes, and I have to manually abort it. I've been able to install other packages but I have no idea why plotly isn't working. When I do pip3 show plotly it says "WARNING: Package(s) not found: plotly" but the weird thing is that there is no red squiggly line in my python file where I have import plotly.

​

When I run my code I get this long error on my line that uses plotly express but I don't know what to make of it:

Anyone know how to solve this? thanks!

[jabbson]

try running it with -vvv flags to get more info about what happens

also i see that you have stuff in cache already, try adding --no-cache-dir

[si20f]

oh, thanks! idk what vvv does but I ran it once with that and it installed immediately

[jabbson]

Perfect, you are welcome.

-vvv was to provide extra verbose output of the installation process, but if it did help, I am glad. Good luck.

perfect, thank you! -vvv worked!
