@Jay Kumar SenSharma Hello i may have the same problem so I try to answer. I'm attending a lecture about HDP. we are ask to install several stuff to do the next exercise : nano and mrJob for python. Assuming the course, it is said there is no python-pip natively installed on HDP sandbox. so, connected with putty to the HDP VM we are asked to do the following commandes : - su root - yum install python-pip (worked OK the automatically installed version is 7.1.0-1.e16) - yum install nano (worked OK) - pip install mrjob And here is where the problem appears the stack error in putty says : Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 20, in <module> File "/tmp/pip-build-i_4vxQ/grpcio/setup.py", line 27, in <module> import sysconfig ImportError: No module named sysconfig Searching some forums told me that the issue could be adressed installing python 2.7 ITried and killed the stability of the VM so I had to reinstall it. I'm quite new at HDP and python configuration, so if you have any suggestions ? Regards Olivier PS : sorry , my english is not as good as I would ... View more
