Cannot install in windows 10 using "pip install solidpython"

[thephet]

You can see the trace here. It seems to require to install visual studio tools, but this is over 6gbs and I dont want to install it.

Is there any other alternative?

If I understand your output correctly the issue is, that the regex package depends on some Visual Studio library.

But I don't understand why solidpython (still) depends on regex. Since the current version should use py_scadparser (or is the pip version not updated yet?) I don't see why solidpython depends on the regex package and as far as I could figure it out neither does any of it's dependencies (maybe PrettyTable, couldn't figure out it's dependencies easily enough ;).

[jeff-dh]

Aah, I see: the py_scadparser update is not yet in pypi.

Sooo for now I think there's no way around installing the vs package for you unless you figure out why regex depends in vs-blablub and find a way around it. But that's a "non solidpython issue" :-p

But you could checkout the current master branch and use it, I does not depend on regex anymore.

[jeff-dh]

The reason why regex depends on vs-blablub could be the following: I could imagine that the regex module is mostly a C/C++ implementation using a python wrapper for performance reasons. Furthermore it seems that you're pip command issued a "build" of regex and thus needs a compiler.

I'm not into the details of pip installations, but there's something about "wheel"(s) which -- I guess! -- are some kind of binary packages. Your output says:

 Using legacy 'setup.py install' for regex, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

I would take a look at this wheel stuff and probably just try to install the "wheel" package, you might(!) be lucky to then be able to install a precompiled binary regex package without needing to install vs-blablub.

[thephet]

I installed the wheel package, but the error is still there:

I just did a "pip install regex" and it was fine. It installed 2021.10.8. Your project forces regex to be regex<2020.0,>=2019.4. I wonder if you could let it use the last version of regex, because then it'd install.

BTW thank you very much for your help.

[etjones]

I’m glad that worked out. We’ve removed the regex dependency entirely in the master branch, so with luck, no one else will run into your difficulties once that’s released. Happy modeling!

[thephet]

I guess the question is when will you upload the non regex version to pip?
