Latest version that is listed as working with Python 3.6 (0.5.1) works but the latest version which requires Python 3.7 doesn't.

machine 1 (ok) setuptools 44.0 python 3.6 pyasdf 0.5.1

machine 2 (not ok) setuptools 44.1 python 3.7 pyasdf 0.6.1 or git

I just tried to install 0.6.0 with pip and it work so must be a change in 0.6.1

[krischer]

I don't see what could have caused that going from 0.6.0 to 0.6.1 - the only change in the setup.py is that there is actually one less dependency: https://github.com/SeismicData/pyasdf/compare/0.6.0...0.6.1

The error log seems to indicate an issue with updating setuptools. It tries to update setuptools without the --user flag and that fails. But the log is kind of hard to parse so I'm not sure that is the case.

In general I'd recommend to also not use the --user flag but rather create a virtual environment (supported by the Python stdlib since Python 3.3 or so) or install conda and create a separate environment.

Concluding I think its an issue with your system and not pyasdf. Please let me know if I am mistaken.

[viktor76525]

I apologize. I didn't notice that long command was basically trying to install setuptools and wheel. It seems 0.6.0 has a whl file while 0.6.1 does not and my pip/setuptools configuration is broken.

No worries :-) Glad you figured it out!
