This is likely caused by a bug in google-ads. Report this to its maintainers. ✘ Installation Failed I do not know much about pipenv, I am just using it – so far without any problems. Now I started from scratch and ran brew update, brew outdated and brew upgrade before.
How do I report that to its maintainers best, and what does "its" mean, Google Ads or Pipenv? Is there something else I could do?
Update:
Following tai271828's advice here are some further information about the system I am using:
- I just updated to
Mac OS 11.1 (20C69)(so it probably was 11.01 before) python --version-->Python 2.7.16which python-->/usr/bin/pythonwhich python3-->/usr/local/bin/python3python3 --version-->Python 3.9.0which pipenv-->/usr/local/bin/pipenvwhich pip-->/usr/local/bin/pipwhich pip3-->/usr/local/bin/pip3
I used homebrew to install Python 3 and then pip3 install pipenv.
Update 2:
With simply pip (instead of pipenv) I first ran into the same error, but after updating pip, it worked fine. This was my input:
python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install --upgrade pip pip install google-ads Update 3:
I tried to follow tai271828's advise, to update my pip in my pipenv env prior to installing the google-ads package. These were my commands:
pipenv --rm pipenv shell pip insall --upgrade pip exit pipenv install google-ads The error message still looks similar:

3.9.1 meanwhile.
It took me a while to figure that out, but it seems to be a problem of pipenv under Python 3.9 (or 3.9.1) in conjunction with the google-ads Module.
My solution:
downgrading to Python 3.8.6 (For me as rookie it was a struggle, just in case you are interested in that: Switching Python version (3.9 → 3.8) installed by Homebrew) Upgrading pip inside pipenvI did this like that:
pipenv shell pip install --upgrade pip exitThen it finally worked:

I had similar kind of "setup" and upgrading pip inside the pipenv helped me!
~/.virtualenvs/MYENVNAME/bin/python3.8 -m pip install --upgrade pip (as prompted at the bottom of the failure) did the trick for me :)
The statement "This is likely caused by a bug in google-ads. Report this to its maintainers." is raised by pipenv. It means "please do not report the issue to pipenv development team".
It seems that you are running the command on a mac/OSX. Besides, it seems that your pipenv is installed by brew. If both of the statements are right, then it is very likely that you are mixing your system-wise pip and local-installed pipenv (by brew). This is a very frequent mistake raised by people who are not familiar with how python package management works.
Thus, the first suggestion to find a solution, is to elaborate the python package management related information on your system (mac/OSX) as much as possible. For example, the output message of python --version, which python, which pip, and which pipenv is usually help.
If you want to use brew to manage packages for you, make sure every step you used to install pipenv and your target package does not mix your system-wise python environment and your local(managed by brew or a python virtual environment) when trying to figure out the issue and finding a solution. For example, make sure you are starting your operation from a "clean" and just-re-spawned terminal. If you want to use brew, make sure you are controlling everything via brew. It will be a bad idea to activate a customized python virtual environment (e.g. conda environment) and then using brew.
