[miso-users] RE : Installing miso

[Csardi, Gabor]

Hi,

MISO contains some C code, so installing it from source requires a C compiler.

When installing Python packages from source on Windows, the default (and only working?) C compiler is Visual Studio. I don't 
know if it is possible to compile Python packages with (say) MinGW, maybe you can check that. Or you can actually also 
download a free version of Visual Studio Express I believe.

Best,
Gabor

Hi,

That file is absolutely not part of MISO or required by it -- I've never heard of it, and certainly no part of visual studio is related to the software.  It sounds like some problem with the Windows installation procedure.

Did you try running:

$ easy_install --user -U .

inside the MISO package directory?  If that does not work, I'd try to ask on the Windows-related mailing list of Python development tools.  I'm not familiar with the way packaging works on Windows and I have no access to Windows machines where this can be tested.

If the filename were quoted in the easy_install process this would be avoided but there's no way for you to fix that as a user of easy_install, as far as I know.  I would download the MISO package manually from pypi instead:
