Unable to install sasl-0.1.3 python package on windows machine
Automated install approach
In the interest of getting to high levels of automation, and to hopefully save other users time, the below works also for automated installations. (Substitute a different mirror URL if needed.)
pip install https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/g5apjq5m/sasl-0.2.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
Also, be advised the "cp37" text in the file name is important - you'll want to match this text to the version of python you are using. I am on Python 3.7, which is cp37 (aka CPython 3.7). (More info here.)
As of the time of this post, the available version/platform combinations are:
sasl‑0.1.3‑cp27‑none‑win32.whl
sasl‑0.1.3‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl
sasl‑0.2.1‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl
sasl‑0.2.1‑cp27‑cp27m‑win_amd64.whl
sasl‑0.2.1‑cp35‑cp35m‑win32.whl
sasl‑0.2.1‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
sasl‑0.2.1‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl
sasl‑0.2.1‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
sasl‑0.2.1‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl
sasl‑0.2.1‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.
Automated install of the VS C++ Tools and and sasl at the same time.
The below is a fully-automated install of everything you need.
- From an elevated command prompt, install the Choco package manager (if you have not already).
@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"
- Install C++ Build Tools
choco install microsoft-visual-cpp-build-tools
- Install Sasl (customize the URL per the above guidance)
pip install https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/g5apjq5m/sasl-0.2.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
The easier way I find to install sasl on windows 7 is to use the pre-compiled version from here : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
There is a direct link to the sasl librairies here : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#sasl just pick the one you need.
Then you install it using pip :
pip install sasl-0.1.3-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
