Can't install toyplot #217

Open LikeLucas opened 2 years ago

LikeLucas commented 2 years ago

Hi Holzschu,

I tried to install toyplot via pip on Carnets. Therfore i need to install the reportlab toolkit, which i think is based on python, but received an error message.

Link to toyplot: https://toyplot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/anaconda-installation.html

Hi, you've provided a pretty good summary: toyplot requires reportlab, and reportlab has some extensions written in C, so it requires a C compiler to install, so it cannot be installed by the user.

Hi, so there is no way to install reportlab/toyplot on Carnets am i right ?

No immediate way to install, at least. I would have to install reportlab at the app level, and then users would be able to install toyplot.
