pip install fails

[zizhec]

pip install keeps failing with the following msg:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: command: 'd:\python\vir37v1\scripts\python.exe' -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'D:\Users\CAIZ~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-by_ojkpx\checklist\setup.py'"'"'; file='"'"'D:\Users\CAIZ~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-by_ojkpx\checklist\setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' egg_info --egg-base 'D:\Users\CAIZ~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-pip-egg-info-hi8iwmvg'

Hi there! Unfortunately, it's a bit hard to guess the actual error given the current msg. For now, I'd suggest directly cloning & installing from the repo. Please let us know if you still run into errors -- And if so, hopefully we get a clearer msg there!

Hey, I am running into a similar problem (same for pip and clone&install):

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi! Looks like the pip ran into some issues when installing a dependency called pattern (mysqlclient is a dependency of the pattern package.) To solve this specific issue, hopefully this Stackoverflow discussion is useful.

Alternatively, like Marco pointed out here, if you do the following, you should be able to bypass the mysqlclient installation but still get all the functionalities of CheckList:

• clone the repo, remove the pattern dependency from setup.py
• from the repo folder, run:

  pip install pattern --no-deps 
  pip install nltk
  pip install -e .

Please let us know if either solution works!

I tried the latter one and it worked without any problems :) thanks

It should work now even without this hack, since 6ad482f6150c2100f4bde86dfc6bccd817c3deb2
