Cannot install 'terminado'

When pip install hide_code using jupyter in mac, error raised

What version of pip are you using? This may be an issue with the new version of pip.

@adalee2future , the distutils issue is a general problem with pip. It comes up if any dependencies were installed with distutils, which doesn't record metadata that pip considers necessary for safely updating those packages. This is particularly problematic for Anaconda users.

The workaround I used was:
pip install --ignore-installed hide_code

(P.S. hide_code results in a 500 server error every time I open a notebook, but I don't think this is related to the --ignore-installed option.)

Didn't know about --ignore-installed. Thanks for the tip @elliottmcollins !
