when I try to run pip install.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Try to install the chumpy from the official repo:
https://github.com/mattloper/chumpy

e.g.

pip install git+https://github.com/mattloper/chumpy

The issue persists even after installing chumpy (0.7.1) from the git repo. Some suggest that one way to circumvent this is using older Python versions (<3.6)

    want_out = 'out' in inspect.getargspec(func).args
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'inspect' has no attribute 'getargspec'. Did you mean: 'getargs'?

[cappelletto]

Follow-up: a hacky way is to edit ch.py:L1203 and replace:
want_out = 'out' in inspect.getargspec(func).args
with
want_out = 'out' in inspect.getfullargspec(func).args

use the current open pr in chumpy:
mattloper/chumpy#59
pip install git+https://github.com/uyoung-jeong/chumpy.git
and give a thumbs up to make merge faster.

pip install git+https://github.com/mattloper/chumpy@9b045ff5d6588a24a0bab52c83f032e2ba433e17 also works
