  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement antlr-python-runtime (from google-appengine) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for antlr-python-runtime (from google-appengine)

Pip shows it is available but doesn't install it:

pip search antlr
antlr4-python-alt          - Alternative Python runtime for ANTLR 4
antlr_python_runtime       - Runtime package for ANTLR3
antlr4-python3-runtime     - ANTLR 4.5.2.1 runtime for Python 3.4.0
antlr4-python2-runtime     - ANTLR 4.5.2.1 runtime for Python 2.7.6
  INSTALLED: 4.5.2.1 (latest)

pip install antlr_python_runtime
Collecting antlr-python-runtime
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement antlr-python-runtime (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for antlr-python-runtime

antlr4-python2-runtime is installed but seems not to be enough:

pip install antlr4-python2-runtime
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): antlr4-python2-runtime

This issue suggests to install with --allow-unverified and --allow-external but both arguments don't work in the latest version of pip (8.0.2) anymore.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Found the 3.1.3 version of antlr in the following link

After running:

pip install http://www.antlr3.org/download/Python/antlr_python_runtime-3.1.3.tar.gz

the pip google-appengine worked ok

Answer 2

pip seems to be stuck on an older 1.5.1 version of AppEngine at and is looking for a bad antrl-python-runtime. It looks in : https://pypi.python.org/simple/antlr-python-runtime/ which contains no links anymore.

antlr seems to have moved to be called by pip via

pip install antlr4_python2_runtime 

For right now, I think that instead of using pip, brew cask is the best package manager method of obtaining googleappengine 1.9

brew cask install googleappengine
