Windows 8 json schema install requires vcversioner, VCS and version.txt files?

[Jay B]

This used to work under Windows 7, but doesn't using Windows 8. I'm not sure if something changed in python, jsonschema-master or windows.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jay

1) Install latest Python 3.5.1

2) Download jsonschema-master and unzip files

3) python setup.py install

vcversioner: no VCS could be detected in 'c:\\tmp\\jsonschema-master' and 'c:\\tmp\\jsonschema-master\\version.txt' isn't present.
vcversioner: are you installing from a github tarball?

4) Here's the path contents

PATH=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\;C:\Users\brinkmej\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Scripts\;
C:\Users\brinkmej\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\

5) What's up with the version.txt file requirement? I don't have one of those shown...

c:\tmp\jsonschema-master>dir

Hi.

What is jsonschema-master? Did you download a GitHub tar of master? That indeed should not work on any version of Windows (or any other OS).

(Also, you should use `pip install` to install packages, but that won't fix this issue)

What is json-schema-master? It's a python library for the schema that validates proper json format. Got it from here (same source works for both Windows and Linux installs):

https://github.com/Julian/jsonschema

It's interesting that the README doesn't really say anything about how to install...

Regards,

Jay

That's the source repository for jsonschema, yes :).

Installation is the same as for generally any Python package, just run `pip install jsonschema` :). Although sure, saying that one line probably belongs in the repo. Patches welcome if you're interested :).
