I also meet this problem. I must use cyvcf2-0.20.0,but I try many methods stil cannot install successfully. Have you solved it?

[brentp]

Hi @empathy-c sorry for the troubles, indeed we're having difficulty with the builds. I would suggest to use bioconda to get that version.

[empathy-c]

But in bioconda I can only install the version 0.30.2 which is the lastest. But when I use MetaXcan to do some TWAS analysis,the project need cyvcf2=0.20.0. I have installed cyvcf2-0.30.2 by using whl to pip ,but the project still not work,so i think maybe I need to install the version of 0.20.0. But cyvcf2-0.20.0 not have whl

[empathy-c]

When I use pip install cyvcf2==0.20.0 in linux(it has installed python3.10),error shows:python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully. exit code: 1 /root/anaconda3/lib/python3.10/distutils/dist.py:274: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'long_description_content_type' ERROR: Failed building wheel for cyvcf2 Running setup.py clean for cyvcf2 Failed to build cyvcf2 ERROR: Could not build wheels for cyvcf2, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects And I download cyvcf2-0.20.0.tar.gz and use local install by print:python setup.py install in linux,errors show: Cyvcf2/cyvcf2. c: In the function '_ Pyx TP Dealloc 6cyvcf2 6cyvcf2 In VCF ':

Hi, you are using an old version of cyvcf2 on a new version of python. So you'll have to use an old version of python to do this. Also note this in the changelog from 0.20.0: https://github.com/brentp/cyvcf2/commit/f198f661be582d00c55b633192a018a20e845712

[empathy-c]

OK I will try to use an old version of python to solve it. Thank you for your help!
