Installation Error, Manjaro, Anaconda3, python3.7 about pyswisseph

[aum7]

i recommend using git version, it is 2.05.01. on pypi (accessed by 'pip install pyswisseph) is very old version, 2.00.01

• download .zip file of pyswisseph
• make virtual environment (on win 10, cmd, i.e at a:: 'virtualenv pyswe_venv')
• activate virtual environment, and navigate to it, cmd i.e.: a: [enter], cd pyswe_venv [enter]
• run: 'python setup.py install'
  if everything goes well, you should have pyswisseph (2.05.01) installed in your virtual environment.
  from cmd, follow the instructions in 'setup.py' (>>> import swisseph as swe ...)

hope this help, it is a bit quick tutorial / help.

best regards,

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the response. I am a bit new to Github and programming in general, what do you mean by downloading using git version, it is 2.05.01 and where can I find it?

Appreciate your response,
Thanks,
Ishan

from page (root of this page):
https://github.com/astrorigin/pyswisseph

• under tab '<> code', on right side, find 'Clone or download' button, click it, select 'Download ZIP' - save it on your disk
• (* recommended) make a python virtual environment (using 'virtualenv' or 'venv', your choice, see:
  https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html
  for more info), somewhere on your disk; i use separate partition from os installation (win 10), i.e. partition A:\
• (* recommended) make new directory on your disk, under this new virt_env, i.e. 'A:\your_venv\your_code'; there should be folders 'Include', 'Lib', 'Scripts' in your_venv folder, those are created at virtual environment creation
• unzip downloaded (pyswisseph-master) file into this directory
• activate 'your_venv' virt_env, with cmd (command shell on windows), navigate 1 directory up (cmd 'cd..') from 'Scripts', to i.e. 'A:\your_venv\your_code\pyswisseph-master'
• from cmd, run 'python setup.py install'
  voila!, this should install version 2.05.01 to your virtual environment; to use this module, 'your_venv' must be activated.
  you can skip virtual environment, but it is recommended to use virtual environment(s) for pyhton development.

looks like this project is not developed anymore, too bad, it is good module.
i am trying to update it to 2.08.01 (latest sweph), but my programming knowledge and experience is too quite limited, so not soon will this be available. i will also remove support for python2, official support will cease in 2020, if i am informed correctly.

hope this help,

have fun,

no biggie. looks like you need microsoft c++ build tools, you should find it somewhere at ms page, something like 'standalone build tools for c++', or similar. recommended is to use latest version. i believe those tools come by default with ms visual studio (community or code should do), but if you do not want msvs on your comp, get standalone build tools. have fun, simon s love nia
