Hi, thank you for the report. It seems that there is some issues related to pip recently. Could you let us know the pip version you are using or could you try again with --use-deprecated legacy-resolver flag as described in pypa/pip#9203 ?

[tbucci100]

Thank you for looking into it. I upgraded pip to current (from only a couple of minor versions behind) before receiving the error. I tried the command from #9203 and received the following error:
Failed to build pykerberos sasl setproctitle
ERROR: Could not build wheels for setproctitle which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

I am able to run in colab as a work around.

Thanks for sharing the update!

I'm sorry but we don't have test coverage for windows yet. The packages you mentioned are not direct dependencies of TFX but it seems that there are issues with dependent packages. You might be able to pin packages to older versions but I'm sure it would help. For example, setproctitle==1.1.9 (dbcli/pgcli#1225)
