[18:11:46] <rschwieb> Hi everyone: I'm having a problem with pip that I've never seen before. Basically when running `pip install .`, it fails with an error of the form `error: package directory 'pip-req-build-y8r9mry0' does not exist`, even though an earlier line says `Created temporary directory: /tmp/pip-req-build-y8r9mry0`.
[18:12:19] <rschwieb> Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? pip is working otherwise for me on this project...
[18:13:19] <rschwieb> Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? pip is working otherwise for me on this project... `pip 19.2.3 from /opt/venvs/py3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pip (python 3.5)`
[18:14:40] <rschwieb> Also, `python setup.py install` and `python setup.py egg_info` succeed without issue
[18:48:18] <rschwieb> I also set TMPDIR so that I could examine the thing before it got cleaned up. It looks like that temporary directory is simply never created.
[18:48:50] <rschwieb> I did that as root, so I don't think there should have been any issue actually creating the directory...
