I still get the error with: pip install ModSimPy error

AllenDowney commented 5 years ago

It might be case sensitive: the name of the package is modsimpy

No, now that I read the error message more carefully, it found the package, but could not install it. This looks to me like your installation of pip is broken.

Hi, I had a similar error while using Windows. If you're on windows 10, you can change the encoding to UTF-8 and that may fix it for you.

Thank you so much. It works perfectly now!!

AllenDowney commented 5 years ago

I'm glad you were able to get it to work, but I am still not sure I understand the problem.

Is there something I can do to the ModSimPy package to avoid this problem?

I am not sure. Maybe there are some special characters in the setup file . But I think the problem mainly comes from my computer (windows 10). Because I can use this package from other computer.

P/s I really enjoy this book. I cannot stop reading it

Ok, thanks. And glad you like the book!

Hi Professor Downey, You might be using non CP-1252 (Windows Encoding) supported characters in your readme file. You may be able to prevent this by using strictly ASCII. This post helped me figure out what was going on and may prove useful.

I will check that out. Thanks!
