I have been using Enthought Canopy Distribution (Academic License) for the last few weeks. I have also used the Package Manager to install packages.

But now today when I tried to install Scikit learn it showed the following error message "Takes no argument 1 given". Infact this problem is there even if I try to install other packages. I also tried to upgrade a few packages, but those too showed the same error.

Have I changed some setting by mistake or is it an issueenter image description here with the software?

I encountered the same problem in both the Canopy GUI and on the command line (epkg) on OS X 10.8 with the 32-bit version. This is part of the reply I got from the Enthought support team:

This looks like a familiar bug which should have been fixed.

Could you please update to 1.0.1.1191, and if the problem still occurs, then submit this as a bug report from the Canopy Help menu so we can gather more system information?

Only problem is, I am running 1.0.1.1190, and Help/Software Updates... claims there is no newer version available. I informed support of this, and I will report back as soon as I have more information on or a solution for this problem.

Update

Planning do document the exact error message, I just went back to the command line and invoked epkg, which suddenly did work:

$ enpkg

Enstaller is out of date. Update? ([y]/n) y

enstaller-4.6.1-2.egg

enstaller-4.6.1-2.egg

Enstaller has been updated. Please re-run your previous command.

I can now successfully install and update packages via enpkg or the Canopy GUI.
