解决使用pip3时No module named 'lsb_release'的问题

在Ubuntu桌面版中编译安装Python3后，在使用pip3时，出现了一个No module named 'lsb_release'的问题。确认在CentOS7中没有这个问题，看来此问题跟Linux发行版本有关系。本文介绍如何解决这个问题。

问题现象

在使用pip3时，出现下列错误提示：

$ pip3 list
Package    Version
---------- -------
pip        19.0.3 
setuptools 40.8.0 
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return _distro.linux_distribution(full_distribution_name)

    self.version(),

    self.lsb_release_attr('release'),
  File "/usr/local/python-3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distro.py", line 892, in lsb_release_attr
    return self._lsb_release_info.get(attribute, '')
  File "/usr/local/python-3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distro.py", line 550, in __get__
    ret = obj.__dict__[self._fname] = self._f(obj)
  File "/usr/local/python-3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distro.py", line 998, in _lsb_release_info

  File "/usr/local/python-3.7/lib/python3.7/subprocess.py", line 395, in check_output
    **kwargs).stdout
  File "/usr/local/python-3.7/lib/python3.7/subprocess.py", line 487, in run
    output=stdout, stderr=stderr)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '('lsb_release', '-a')' returned non-zero exit status 1.

注意看最后一行的显示，subprocess模块在执行 lsb_release -a 命令的时候，返回了一个非0的值。非0返回值表示此命令执行失败了。

为了搞清楚为啥 lsb_release -a 命令会执行失败，我单独做了一次执行：

$ lsb_release -a
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 25, in 
    import lsb_release
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lsb_release'

还是看最后一行，No module named ‘lsb_release’ 出现了。而且，我还看到了 import lsb_release 这一行，这说明 lsb_release 是一个Python程序！

问题分析和解决

lsb_release 命令是一个python程序，代码不长，我们可以看看这个程序的源码：

$ cat /usr/bin/lsb_release 
#!/usr/bin/python3 -Es

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

看到 import lsb_release 这一行了吧！出现 No module named ‘lsb_release’ 的问题，显然是这个程序找不到 lsb_release 模块了。

分析：Ubuntu系统自带Python3，而出问题的是我们自己编译安装的最新版的Python3，解决问题的方法，就是寻找Ubunbu自带的Python3使用的 lsb_release 模块，然后将这个模块copy到我们自己编译安装的Python3的lib目录下。同学们可以回头看看上面subprocess模块的错误提示，可以看到我们自己编译安装的Python3的lib路径是：/usr/local/python-3.7/lib/python3.7/，而这个路径下，确实没有 lsb_release 模块。

寻找Ubuntu系统自带的 lsb_release 模块

$ sudo find / -name lsb_release.py
[sudo] password for xinlin: 
find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lsb_release.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py
/usr/share/pyshared/lsb_release.py

就是这个文件：/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py

copy到正确路径

将找到的这个文件，copy到正确路径：

$ sudo cp /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py /usr/local/python-3.7/lib/python3.7/

然后，再试试pip3：

$ pip3 list
Package    Version
---------- -------
pip        19.0.3 
setuptools 40.8.0 
You are using pip version 19.0.3, however version 19.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

成功！圆满解决 No module named 'lsb_release' 的问题。CentOS7中不存在此问题，CentOS7中甚至连 lsb_release 命令都没有。Ubuntu服务器版应该也存在这个问题，因为它也有 lsb_release 命令。
