Installation error on Windows with Python 3.5

[JustinScottHP]

Hi,

I'm getting an error installing via PIP

error: can't copy 'ttkthemes\themes\aquativo': doesn't exist or not a regular file

----------------------------------------

Command "c:\users\h088784\appdata\local\programs\python\python35\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='C:\Users\H088784\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-cr4aiji1\ttkthemes\setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), file, 'exec'))" install --record C:\Users\H088784\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-s72iy6p7-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\H088784\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-cr4aiji1\ttkthemes\

Please advise.

Regards, Justin

Hi! Thank you for opening an issue. In order for me to determine whether this is a bug, I will need some more information so I can reproduce the issue in a virtual machine:

• The version of Windows you are using
• The command you are using to install ttkthemes
• All the output of the command (you can redact identifying markers such as your username if you want)

Perhaps you could also include the installation record file C:\Users\H088784\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-s72iy6p7-record\install-record.txt if it still exists?

Without all of the above information, it is practically impossible to determine what the actual cause of the issue is and to provide any help.

i have same exact issue.

Let me provide additional information. I installed from pip with same error message as above.

I installed using python setup.py install

Thank you for also sharing your experience with this issue. I still cannot reproduce the issue without all the information. Installation runs just fine on my Virtual Machine with Windows 7 64-bit and Python 3.6 64-bit (system-wide installation). I need the following:

• The version of Windows you are using
• Version of Python
• Installation location (system-wide or user-only)
• The exact installation command you are using
• As much of the output of the command as you can share

If I cannot reproduce the issue, I cannot determine the cause and thus I cannot even attempt to fix it.

Hi,

The issue was resolved by updating pip, setuptools and wheel. Most likely it was an issue with a compatibility issue with an older version of setuptools.

I used the following:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

thanks for the update. I was able to use a previous version for my requirement, but I will have a look at this.

It must be the same issue as #9, then. I did not make the connection as this issue was closed months ago. Therefore, I will close this issue, but as I have been working to update the documentation I will include a mention of having to update setuptools and wheel.
