Can't pip install in Python 3

[metakermit]

Your README states that you support Python 3+, but I am experiencing errors installing the package.

From user Amir Meshkat:

I am using Python 3.33 64-bit on a windows7 machine: Installing Inspyred package on Python 3+, via the pip or source code was impossible, and there was a simple solution! I have just replaced the paver-minilib.zip with a compatible version in the source files and I think you should know about this issue. https://github.com/rkruppe/paver/blob/python3/paver-minilib.zip

In the next release, I will make this change to the installation. Until then, I think this should solve the problem.

Regardless of this specific incident, Is the issue with pip install? or is it with some dependency?

If this is with pip install, why not create a conda installer through BinStar?

If there is interest, I will be happy to help.

@inspyred What do I need to do to be able to pip install inspyred on Python 3?

[aarongarrett]

Did you see the earlier post with Amir Meshkat's solution? Did replacing the paver-minilib.zip file work for you?

[saulshanabrook]

Where and how do I replace paver-minilib.zip?

[aarongarrett]

Oh, I understand your confusion. When you try to use pip, it pulls the gzip archive from PyPI (https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/i/inspyred/inspyred-1.0.tar.gz#md5=f1ed3898ec0056a950a6b54e04f0b8b4). If you just download that file directly and open the archive, you'll see the paver zip file inside. Extract that archive to some directory (really doesn't matter where), replace the paver zip file with the one Amir suggests, and then run the setup.py script from that directory. That should install it correctly for you.

[saulshanabrook]

Ah thanks. Is it possible to release a new version on PyPI with the updated paver file?

Yes, and I will when I release the next version (likely August). I assume you don't want to wait for that.

Hi @aarongarrett, I'd love to use inspyred under python 3.4. Any chance you could release a new version?

[aarongarrett]

I think so. Let me work on it.

Hello this is Amir Unfortunately the previous link to paver-minilib.zip is not valid any more :( But you could find another version here : https://github.com/paver/paver/blob/master/paver-minilib.zip?raw=true
