pip install fails on Win 10 - Python 2.7.11 / Python 3.5.1 / WinPython 64bit 3.5.1.3

[0ldPaul]

Hello, I get following error during installation process at point 1. pip install -r requirements.txt:

Tried to install three Python releases (Python 2.7.11 / Python 3.5.1 / WinPython 64bit 3.5.1.3) same error.

Could you please give me support ? Thank you :) Paul

Same here on Ubuntu Linux (16.04). It's not a windows-only issue.

pip install -r requirements.txt Collecting https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools/tarball/master (from -r requirements.txt (line 1)) Downloading https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools/tarball/master Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-HShDzZ-build/setup.py'

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-HShDzZ-build/

Here is the reason. Component is not maintained or provided anymore!

https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools/

I really don't have time to maintain this library further. If you want to fork it or use it despite lack of maintenance, feel free to clone locally and revert one commit.

We can temporarely fix this by using the last "good" commit before:

$> git clone https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools.git
$> cd pybitcointools
$> git checkout aeb0a2bbb8bbfe421432d776c649650eaeb882a5
$> python setup.py egg_info
$> python setup.py install
and finally (last requirement of requirements.txt)
$> pip install pyepm

NOTICE: This is of course only a temporary solution as there is no more bugfixing or maintenaince! The lib should be integrated in this project for further maintenaince and smooth setup if there is no replacement-lib.
