pyscard installation via pip fails on win7 x64 (missing dependencys?)

[DPSB]

Hello,

i'm trying to install pyscard but pip installation fails. Seems like missing dependency's(?) OS Win 7-x64 Command: python -m pip install pyscard Tested with Python 3.4.4-x64, 3.4.4-x86, 3.6.2-x64, 3.6.2-x86

Swig.exe failed No such file or directory I'll guess this is some undocumented dependency? http://www.swig.org/download.html This one? Which version?

[LudovicRousseau]

Install SWIG http://www.swig.org/ It is not a Python package.

[DPSB]

Thx, installing now swigwin-3.0.12 and try it out.

Would be nice to have a note on the documentation that SWIG is needed along with all other not mentioned dependencys. Maybe also the Swig version which the author uses. (for compability) (I'll bet its not installed on most Windows Systems)

Ok, Swig error is gone after downloading latest windows pre-build version and adding it to OS path variable, but now the next dependency is missing:

So Visual C++ 10.0 is required too, anything else needed?

After installing VC 2010 Express i got the following error:

I do not use or know Windows. I can't really help you.

You can get (automatic builds) binary installers for Windows at https://ci.appveyor.com/project/LudovicRousseau/pyscard, then select your Python and system configuration, then go to Artefacts.

[LudovicRousseau]

The building documentation is at https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/pyscard/blob/master/README

[micsthepick]

It took me a while to find the binaries, as the link just redirects you to a different page. What you need to do if this is happening is to go directly to https://ci.appveyor.com/project/LudovicRousseau/pyscard, look under "JOB NAME" for the correct environment, copy the address that is linked there, and paste it into the url box, adding /artifacts to the end.

Same problem on Ubuntu 17.10. Installing swig3.0 fixed the issue.

# sudo apt-get install swig3.0

[LudovicRousseau]

Does someone knows how to define a dependency on swig3 in setup.py? The idea is to get a more explicit error message.

[wzulfikar]

the pip install pyscard also fails in mac. installing swig (inspired from @rask answer) from brew using brew install swig and re-running pip install pyscard did the job.

[Hunu]

In case of someone else meet the same issue: I'm running win10x64 and had the same error as DPSB. After a lot of searching, I found swig is available in chocolately package manager My solution was

1. Install the chocolately package manager
2. Open a powershell as administrator mode, run choco install swig
3. Then in the same window, install pyscard by pip install pyscard And done!

[LudovicRousseau]

Thanks @Hunu

I updated the install documentation https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/pyscard/blob/master/INSTALL.md#installing-on-windows-from-the-source-distribution

Sometimes it just need to install full VisualStudio community edition with python. it depends on what libraries have installed on pc.

[LudovicRousseau]

Pypi now provides 2 windows Wheel files (from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/LudovicRousseau/pyscard):

• pyscard-1.9.8-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
• pyscard-1.9.8-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

It should be simple to install one of these with pip install

[DPSB]

Sometimes it just need to install full VisualStudio community edition with python. it depends on what libraries have installed on pc.

This may be a temporary workaround, but totally unacceptable for productive use. Why install a oversized IDE when only requiring 1 or 2 files.

Pypi now provides 2 windows Wheel files (from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/LudovicRousseau/pyscard):

* pyscard-1.9.8-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

* pyscard-1.9.8-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

It should be simple to install one of these with pip install

Thanks, i will test it within the next couple of days and report back

[LudovicRousseau]

From my experience I have no issues with pyscard when install Python from miniconda https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
