How to install Selenium2Library for Robot Framework using pip + Jython?

Since version 2.7.0 Jython contains pip bundled in. It just needs to be activated by running the following command before using it:

jython -m ensurepip

So actually after that it should be possible to install Selenium2Library for Robot Framework with

jython -m pip install robotframework-selenium2library

right?

But when I do this I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'geteuid'

Here is the full cmd / shell output:

C:\foldername>jython -m pip install selenium2library
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Jython27\Lib\runpy.py", line 151, in _run_module_as_main
    mod_name, loader, code, fname = _get_module_details(mod_name)
  File "C:\Jython27\Lib\runpy.py", line 151, in _run_module_as_main
    mod_name, loader, code, fname = _get_module_details(mod_name)
  File "C:\Jython27\Lib\runpy.py", line 109, in _get_module_details
    return _get_module_details(pkg_main_name)
  File "C:\Jython27\Lib\runpy.py", line 109, in _get_module_details
    return _get_module_details(pkg_main_name)

    loader = get_loader(mod_name)
  File "C:\Jython27\Lib\pkgutil.py", line 478, in get_loader
    return find_loader(fullname)
  File "C:\Jython27\Lib\pkgutil.py", line 488, in find_loader
    for importer in iter_importers(fullname):

    __import__(pkg)

    from pip.util import get_installed_distributions, get_prog
  File "C:\Jython27\Lib\site-packages\pip\util.py", line 17, in <module>
    from pip.locations import (
  File "C:\Jython27\Lib\site-packages\pip\locations.py", line 109, in <module>
    build_prefix = _get_build_prefix()

prefix
    if file_uid != os.geteuid():
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'geteuid'

Why am I getting this error?

BTW: installing from source works nice with

jython setup.py install

Addition information: I´m on Windows 8.1 64 bit with Java 1.8, Jython 2.7.0, Robot Framework 2.8.7

I ran into this too after installing Jython 2.7.0. It seems that for some reason PIP 1.6 (really old) was being used (which leads to that error), this steps should fix it:

  1. Delete the folder %TEMP%\pip_build_[username]
  2. Run jython -m pip install -U pip to upgrade pip to uninstall and upgrade PIP to 7.x

Hope this helps!
