pip install asyncio fails

[Jonas Gröger]

Hello!

I am trying to install asyncio aka tulip on Python 3.3 like this

pip install asyncio

This fails:

Hi Jonas,

It looks like nobody can help you. There are many potential issues that could break pip on Windows. Maybe you can search or ask on StackOverflow.com? (I hesitate to recommend that you install from source, because you'd need to have VS 2010 for that -- a free version is available but it's still a pain to set up.)

[Jonas Gröger]

Hi Guido,

First of all thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, the Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages from Christoph Gohlke do not contain asyncio for Python 3.3 (they actually don't at all). Unfortunately he does not point out how exactly he builds the Installers.

As I need this, I am fine building from source. I also have a little background in C++. Could you point me to a resource where it is explained how to do that?

-- Jonas Gröger

[Donald Stufft]

Sorry I didn’t notice this.

It was actually trying to install from source, and an error occurred when it tried to compile it. Do you have the proper toolchain installed? (e.g. can you install anything that requires a C ext?)

[Guido van Rossum]

But why would it install from source? I put a wheel distro on PyPI: see https://pypi.python.org/pypi/asyncio/0.3.1

Jonas, you might be able to just download the wheel from there and do whatever it is one does to a wheel to install it.

[Jonas Gröger]

I am not sure. I have Visual Studio 2010 installed and set the environment variable

VS100COMNTOOLS = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools"

Is there more to it?

-- Jonas 

[Donald Stufft]

If your pip is older than 1.5 it won’t install Wheels by default, if it’s older than 1.4 it can’t install them at all.

I played a lot with Visual Studio Express. It's difficult to find it
on the website, the installer download more than 400 MB, it installs a
.NET framework, etc. More annoying point: Visual Studio Express cannot
compile in 64-bit mode, it's limited to 32-bit.

It's much easier to install the Windows SDK: it includes a C compiler,
it's easy to find it, it supports 64-bit, it's enough to compile
Python extensions. See my notes:
http://haypo-notes.readthedocs.org/misc.html#compile-python-extensions-on-windows

[Donald Stufft]

I don’t use Windows so I don’t know how exactly to get the compiler toolchain on there except by futzing around until it works :(

[Jonas Gröger]

Doesn't pip automatically favor the wheels distribution over the source distribution? The documentations says so. Because clearly, even though there is a wheels distribution available, pip install asyncio still fails with

http://pastebin.com/qWLByQNG

Is the wheels archive broken or why does it still want to build from source?

-- Jonas

[Donald Stufft]

Are you using a 64bit Python?

[Jonas Gröger]

Oh yes. Totally forgot to mention that. That might be the reason pip wants to build from source. Any update on the 64-bit version?

Offtopic: Not every package author is always putting up the package in the right format / the right version. That is why I want to learn how to package them so that I am not dependent on others. Is there some resource you can point me to aside from Victor Stinners?

Ok yea, the Wheel uploaded is only a 32bit wheel so it’s not binary compatible with a 64bit CPython.

I have a 64-bit Windows wheel of asyncio built for Python 3.3. The link is https://www.dropbox.com/s/va35r5qca6dqcgd/asyncio-0.4.1-cp33-none-win_amd64.whl (assuming I got setting up a public link in Dropbox right - let me know if it doesn't work!)

If you can verify it looks OK, Guido might be able to get it added to the PyPI downloads. You might be able to pip install direct from the link, if not you can download it manually and do the pip install as "pip install asyncio-0.4.1-cp33-none-win_amd64.whl".
