when i try to use it i get this error :
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '$HOME/python/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ptyprocess-0.5.2.dist-info/top_level.txt'
any ideas how to solve it ? it used to work fine but then i installed something which i forgot and it seems like it deleted that file

I receive a similar error when I try to download a data file using download command. It is a fresh EC2 instance.

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/testpath-0.3.1.dist-info/top_level.txt'

I'm sorry, the command form took a new shape in the latest version I guess. Earlier I followed what was there documented in GitHub page.

But after digging little further, the below works.
$ -> kg
(kg) $ -> download -u username -p password -c competition -f filename

compared to using everything in single line (as documented).

i don't know if this is the right thing to do but i just added a file named "top_level.txt" in the dir "$HOME/python/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ptyprocess-0.5.2.dist-info" and it worked

It's related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-cliff/+bug/1719465 . And it's resolved, use pip install -U kaggle-cli might help.

The issue still persists, upgrading the library does not help, adding "top_level.txt" to the directory also does not work.

@ArtjomKorol What's your Python version?

Answer 8 · 2017-10-08T18:38:29.000Z

Same thing for me. I have the following error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/ptyprocess-0.5.2.dist-info/top_level.txt

Answer 9 · 2017-10-08T19:09:14.000Z

I found that kaggle-cli's upstream the cliff package's top_level.txt issue was resolved but not yet published.

As I experimented with creating an empty file for the top_level.txt, the problem fixed.
i.e. $ touch /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/ptyprocess-0.5.2.dist-info/top_level.txt

This issue shall be fixed when cliff release a new version.

Answer 10 · 2017-10-08T19:13:36.000Z

Or wait! I downgrade the cliff version as a solution. See df25e6b .

Please upgrade kaggle-cli via pip install -U kaggle-cli.

Hope it solved the issue.
