Pip install not functioning on windows 7 Cygwin install
There's a bug(?) in 64-bit Cygwin which causes ctypes.util
to segfault when trying to find libuuid (/usr/bin/cyguuid-1.dll
). The fix is to install libuuid-devel from Cygwin setup. I found this from an issue filed against requests.py, but it's noted (and worked around in different ways) in a few other places, too.
Came across the same problem. Installation of binutils
cygwin package solved it for me.
There is a work around for this problem: you can pipe the output to another process or to redirect it to file.
For example:
pip | moreUsage: pip <command> [options]Commands: install Install packages. uninstall Uninstall packages. freeze Output installed packages in requirements format. list List installed packages. show Show information about installed packages. search Search PyPI for packages. wheel Build wheels from your requirements. help Show help for commands.
This will allow seeing stdout, but not stderr. In order to see stderr it also should be redirected:
pip 2>&1 | more
