Hi there! I recently posted this issue on stackoverflow as well: on win-7 64-bit operating system, fresh cygwin-64 installation with the default 2.7.5 python library pip/easy install fails to install the "requests" package.
$ pip install requests Downloading/unpacking requests Downloading requests-1.2.3.tar.gz (348kB): 348kB downloaded Running setup.py egg_info for package requests Cleaning up... No files/directories in /tmp/pip_build_joepublic/requests/pip-egg-info (from PKG-INFO) Storing complete log in /home/joepublic/.pip/pip.log For more information and context: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18322718/python-2-7-5-on-cygwin64-requests-installation-fails Any help would be greatly appretiated.
