Hello, my os is windows 7 professional 64 bit system.
I installed WinPython before which have python 3.6.0 with it.
When execute pip install zipline, it return with below message:
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "C:\Users\j3dong\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-ez17wlwn-build\setup.py", lin
e 33, in <module>
        import versioneer
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'versioneer' 

what can I do?
Thanks.

Did you try to install it with Conda? 

See the Window section here: 

Don't give up, install Zipline is not easy but it is very useful after you get over the installation.

Hi Jonathan,

I think you might want to try installing zipline with conda? Here's more info about installing zipline http://www.zipline.io/install.html and you can find the link to download conda here: https://www.continuum.io/downloads

If you're using WinPython, and using Python 3.6, you'll run into other issues because we currently don't support versions other than Python 2.7 and Python 3.4; so after installing conda you would then need to create a conda environment for Python 3.4 ( you can run: conda create -n zip34 python=3.4 anaconda ) and then install zipline using conda install -c Quantopian zipline.

Thanks,
Freddie

I think there's something wrong with paths in WinPython3.6. I tried to build pandas which has versioneer.py in its source root path. I added this path in PYTHONPATH manager in spyder, but when tried to build, it couldn't find versioneer until i copied it to shared Lib path. In WinPython3.5 there's no such problem
