pip install couchbase error

[e-une-ver.32]

Hi,

I'm getting this error when running 

pip install couchbase

Command C:\Python27\python.exe -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='c:\\users\\ppp_2\\appdata\\local\\temp\\pip_bu

ild_ppp_2\\couchbase\\setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __

file__, 'exec'))" install --record c:\users\ppp_2\appdata\local\temp\pip-fdn1xq-record\install-record.txt --single-vers

ion-externally-managed --compile failed with error code 1 in c:\users\ppp_2\appdata\local\temp\pip_build_ppp_2\couchbase

Would anyone know what might be causing this?

I'm on Windows8

Thanks.

I'm still investigating the pip issue. I'd recommend you download the exe installer for the client library. easy_install couchbase also works here.

In the future we can use the 'wheel' distribution format in addition to the .exe installers.

Correct. The exe installer worked fine.

What I think was happening is that the pip installer version was trying to run a compile and looking for a C compiler?

The resulting message was a bit cryptic.

Yes, that's what happened. In the future I'll try to do a 'wheel' format. It seems that it's what pip does when it encounters windows packages -- it tries to compile them by default and won't look for the exe installed. easy_install will.

Newer versions of pip will check for a 'wheel' package and use that, unfortunately we don't generate 'wheel' packages yet, but we may do so later.
