Nose - Nosetests runs on first attempt but fails on all further tries - utf-8

I've installed Nose using pip, when I run nosetests it executes perfectly fine. But when i try it a second time I'm presented with an error:
SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\x90'
I've then proceed to remove nose and reinstall again with pip. But i keep encountering the same problem. It will work on the first test nosetests but any subsequent tries I'm greeted with the aforementioned error.

Fixed recurring issue by updating Microsoft Framework.

Reinstalling anaconda causes command prompt to break

This issue boggled my mind! I uninstalled and reinstalled anaconda today because the activate environment command caused an error every time it was run.
Hoping to make progress, things rather went the other direction. Command line closes immediately after opening (too fast to see), and on powershell I get the following error without having written any command:
Running any conda command brings back the same error. I've searched but I'm a bit stuck, given that it's a fresh install. I can't run conda install anaconda-clean because it fails with the same error.

pip install psd-tools3 => FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I was trying to install Ursina but I was having trouble getting all the required packages I needed to run my code properly. Come to find out, there's a package that refuses to install called 'psd-tools3' that won't install, no matter what I do.
I've been using cmd commands like 'pip install psd-tools3' and 'pip3 install psd-tools3' but no other commands work (i.e. 'sudo pip install psd-tools3' doesn't work because my PC doesn't know what 'sudo' means and doesn't run). I've tried installing required packages for this package, but nothing works. It just keeps giving me this error:
enter image description here
I would really appreciate the help with this problem. All I can really assume is that the Python file '_version' hasn't been created and that's what's throwing the whole program off. If there is a way to add this manually and then install it, I would appreciate steps to do that as well.
I was running this on a Lenovo Thinkpad (Windows 10) on Python 3.10 (I also have Python 3.8.3 but that was installed with the 3.10) and I made sure all packages and pip are up-to-date. Still having this problem and I don't know why.
Seems to me like the issue is on the side of the maintainers of psd-tools3.
For example, looking at the content of the latest source distribution on PyPI, we can see that it does not contain any _version.py file.
This needs to be solved by the project's maintainers, but they do not have a ticket tracker. On the other hand there seems to be an "Author" email address on the project's PyPI page as well as in the project's setup.py script.
A solution might be to clone the project's source code repository (with git), and try to install from the local clone.
Just simply try
pip install psd-tools3==1.9.0
Or
pip install psd-tools3==1.8.2
This should work on your pc as well. I was having same issue, and then I tried this It worked for me

No module named 'xlsxwriter'

I'm trying to install xlsxwriter. I'm using VS Code. I installed two different versions of python when I set this up. When I use 'pip install xlsxwriter' it says it's successfully installed, but when I run the code it brings back the above error. (No module named 'xlsxwriter') I'm using 'import xlsxwriter'.
I've tried uninstalling it, installing wheel, and then trying to install it again, but I'm getting the same error.
How do I make sure I'm installing xlsxwriter correctly?
thank you!
I've been able to get the file to run by typing, 'python3 (file name)' but is there a way to change what vs code automatically runs? when I type, 'python --version' it comes back as 2.7.
I'm looking in the command palette, but I'm not seeing python3. I'll keep looking around online, but any help would be wonderful.

Installing rvm on Debian gives an error: "rvm_warn: command not found"

I am trying to install rvm on my newly installed Debian. But I get this error:
bash: line 234: rvm_warn: command not found
Looking at the contents of the installer file, it is trying to output this message:
Curl returned 141 - it is result of a segfault which means it's Curls fault.
Try again and if it crashes more than a couple of times you either need to
reinstall Curl or consult with your distribution manual and contact support.
I tried re-installing curl, but it did not fix the problem.
Any ideas how to fix this?
This are two separate errors you need to report the first one to RVM: https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues
The second one is a problem in your system, you can add --debug or --trace flags to the installer to see on which urls it fails, then you should be able to reproduce it without RVM - this should be reported back to your distribution as 141 is unexpected curl error.

pip is not uninstalling packages

Background
I'm working on an academic project to (basically) analyze some "who follows whom" graphs and wanted to get some real data (by building some small datasets) from Twitter using one of the Python Twitter API packages in order to test some ideas I have.
I was a bit careless and installed two packages:
a) python-twitter0.8.2 (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-twitter/0.8.2)
b) twitter1.9.1 (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/twitter/1.9.1)
(a) is called python-twitter in pypi, and (b) is called twitter, so that's how I'll refer to them.
Both of these are called by import twitter in the Python interpreter, but when I write that line, I always get the twitter one (if I can figure out how to use the python-twitter one, I'll be able to proceed, but will still have the same underlying problem).
Problem
Since I don't need the twitter package, I decided to uninstall it with pip:
$ sudo pip uninstall twitter
which gives the output:
Uninstalling twitter:
Proceed (y/n)? y
Successfully uninstalled twitter
(actually, I tried the same thing with python-twitter and got a similar response).
However, when running pip freeze, both of these packages show up on the installed list! In fact, I can still use the import twitter command successfully in the interpreter. Clearly the packages have not been uninstalled. What I would love to know is how to uninstall them!
Other Info
I'm using Python 2.7 and Ubuntu 12.04
When running IDLE instead of the shell interpreter, and I type help('modules'), neither twitter nor python-twitter shows up in the list. When typing help('modules') into the shell interpreter, I get a segmentation fault error, and the interpreter crashes. Here's the error:
>>> help('modules')
Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

Why other questions have not resolved this for me:
I looked at the similar post at pip freeze lists uninstalled packages and am not having the same issues.
$ sudo which pip
/usr/bin/pip
$ which pip
/usr/bin/pip
which is the same output. In addition, $ sudo pip freeze gives the same output as $ pip freeze.
Any help is very much appreciated!
You can always manually delete the packages; you can run:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twitter
to remove that package from your dist-packages directory. You may have to edit the easy-install.pth file in the same directory and remove the twitter entry from it.
While Martin's solution works, as a work around, it does not provide a direct answer.
Ubuntu's pip version for your Ubuntu version (12.04) is:
python-pip (1.0-1build1)
This is also the same version for Debian Wheezy. This version has a weired bug, which causes packages not to be removed.
If you obtain pip from upstream using the script get-pip.py you will have a fixed version of pip which can remove pacakges (as of now v. 1.5.6).
update
Python's pip is really a fast moving target. So using Debian's or Ubuntu's pip is guaranteed to have bugs. Please don't use those distribution's pip.
Instead install pip from upstream.
If you would like to register pip installed packages as system packages I really recommend that you also use stdeb.
I was facing difficulty while upgrading a package because pip was not able to uninstall it successfully. I had to delete the .egg-info and the folder as well in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages and then I tried to install with --upgrade and it worked.
For me, it was due to the fact that I was running pip freeze, which gave me different results than sudo pip freeze.
Since I was uninstalling using sudo, it was not uninstalling it in the "non-sudo" session. Uninstalling without sudo fixed that.
In my case (moving pyusb 0.4x to 1.0x), removing the old package with apt-get remove python-usb and manually installing the manually downloaded package via python setup.py worked. Not pretty, but working.
