Not working with Python 2.7

[abdelhameedhamdy]

Salamu Alikom Abdullah,

When trying using the library with Pytohn 2.7 I got the following errors:

File "arabic_reshaper.py", line 26, in from builtins import range ImportError: No module named builtins

Fixed, After changing the following line from builtins import range - To :> from (double-underscore)builtin(double-underscore) import range

Then, got the following error: from configparser import ConfigParser ImportError: No module named configparser

Again, changes the it to : import ConfigParser ,only

Error in ConfigParser () line, then changes to ConfigParser.ConfigParser(), Got other errors !! Knowing that when trying to run it using Python 3, it works with no problem,

Please check your installation, it is most probably an incorrect one.

You can install the package either by executing pip install --upgrade arabic-reshaper or by executing pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/mpcabd/python-arabic-reshaper

Thanks Abdullah,

Is "python setup.py install" works as well !! as my machine is behind proxy, and I tried to config the console with our enterprise proxy but with no success.

I tried with pip install in mac machine it works properly.

python setup.py install should work if you have the dependencies installed.

But if you're on a Linux based machine (Mac or Linux) and you're behind a proxy try to call pip like this maybe it'd work:

http_proxy=<host>:<port> https_proxy=<host>:<port> pip install --upgrade arabic-reshaper

Where you replace <host> and <port> by your enterprise proxy host and port respectively.

For Windows I'm not really sure how proxies work with pip there.
