setuptools error in python
Solution 1
execfile()
will only work in Python 2, use exec()
in Python 3
From http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/ it is clear that setuptools
is only available for python 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7
, so better install it on one of them not on 3.x.
Read Alternative to execfile
in Python 3.2+?
Edit: Setuptools now support Python 3.3+.
Solution 2
setuptools
doesn't appear to support python 3 (at least according to the Python Package Index).
Try distribute
which provides the setuptools
api and provides python3 compatibility: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute
It looks like python-twitter
does not support python3 so you'll have to use Python 2.6.
The 2.6 error message is pretty clear:
"C:\Python26\twittersetup.py", line 13, in <module> long_description=open("./README", "r").read(), IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './README')
Basically you're attempting to run the script from another directory than the directory that contains the README file.
I'd start over and make sure you start by downloading and unpacking the complete source for python-twitter
: http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/python-twitter/python-twitter-0.8.2.tar.gz
Next, uncompress and unpack the source (7-Zip works nicely for this).
Then open up cmd
and cd
to that unpacked directory (which should include the README file and the setup.py file). Then run something like:
C:\Python2.6\python2.6.exe setup.py

Rudy Garcia almost 12 yearsLearning to use the CLI is very helpful for Python and there are quite a few resources out there to learn. There are also guides for properly setting up Python on windows so that it works reasonably from the commandline. (cli.learncodethehardway.org/book/cli-crash-coursech1.html, stat.ucla.edu/~rosario/classes/07F/202a/python/index.html, instructables.com/id/… ).
