Volumio 2.915, Raspberry PI 2B, Python 2.7.9, pip 1.5.6.
Hit a problem trying to install socketIO-client on my PI using this line:
sudo pip install python-SocketIO-client
I have done this process before but now it fails after successfully downloading with: “Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-yKqQF0/gevent”
This is beyond me! A quick web search didn’t throw up any solutions.
It feels like it could be a ‘versions’ or ‘ownership’ issue, but that is just a guess.
Can anybody help please?
This is a known issue with current 2.xx images – there are quite a few threads around here about it:

Thanks Ash, reading that first link was like reading my own.
I have been considering Buster beta but I thought I didn’t know enough to make it work with my PreAmp.
I am now successfully running Volumio 3.152 on a PI 3B and want to re-instate the Artist & Song Title info on my PreAmp display. I use some Python code read from MPD and pass it via the serial to my PreAmp Controller.
Under V’ 2.xx I set it up with:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install -U socketIO-client
sudo apt-get install python-serial
Apart from replacing pip with pip3 should all the rest work with the Buster version of Volumio?
