Re: [Distutils] Python package inquiry
Can you tell us which instructions you followed and what the exact output of that command is? Also, what version of Python are you using (python -V)?

Re: [Distutils] Python package inquiry
Hi Meradj, Are you in the Python interpreter when you type that? If so, that's your problem. You need to be at your normal command prompt. Open a new shell or terminal and type that command first. If you've already started Python and are in the interpreter, that would indeed, give you a syntax error.

Andreas There's actually also a requirement for a relatively recent version (>=6.0) of setuptools in order to build correctly using the Visual C++ Compiler for Python. This will allow the compiler to be found without using the environment variable. I suggest ensuring that setuptools is up to date, and either import it in the setup.py (you don't have to do anything except import it) or use pip to install your packages.

[Distutils] Python package inquiry
To whom it may concern, Hi, I am new to Python and I am struggling to install Python packages. I have followed the instructions however it does not seem to be working. I am trying to install the package through the Python(Command Line), the package is economics, and when I put python -m pip install Economics It does not work and the error that it is a syntax error. I am using Python 2.7. Would you mind kindly let me know how I can install packages? Your help if very much appreciated, Kind regards, Meradj ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig

Andreas P.S.: I had put some debugging prints to understand your code better, and this is what it outputs: toolsdir= C:\Users\Andreas\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\WinSDK\Bin\ productdir= C:\Users\Andreas\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\WinSDK\Bin\..\..\VC productdir= C:\Users\Andreas\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC vcvarsall= C:\Users\Andreas\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat and that last path is wrong. I could repair it, but only by patching your "msvc9compiler.py": productdir = os.path.join(toolsdir, os.pardir, os.pardir, "VC")--> productdir = os.path.join(toolsdir, os.pardir, os.pardir) now it does find it: toolsdir= C:\Users\Andreas\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\WinSDK\Bin\ productdir= C:\Users\Andreas\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\WinSDK\Bin\..\.. productdir= C:\Users\Andreas\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0 vcvarsall= C:\Users\Andreas\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\vcvarsall.bat ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
Re: [Distutils] setuptools 25.1.6 broke numpy.distutils on Windows

This was apparently only occurring with Python 3.5. The main reason I want to add to this post is that *Python 3.5 is still taking bugfixes*. If there is a problem in distutils, please report it to bugs.python.org first so we can fix it, and then look into monkeypatching the older versions.

[Distutils] setuptools 25.1.6 broke numpy.distutils on Windows
Hello, Just a heads-up that latest setuptools is incompatible with numpy.distutils on Windows: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/728 The whole scientific community will suffer until this issue is solved one way or the other (either on the setuptools side, or on the Numpy side, or both).
