I try installing python modules (this time flask-bcrypt
or py-bcrypt
) and I can't get it to work because compilation failed.
I learned that I needed Visual Studio 2008 (I do own 2010 Professional, but it seems thats not enough). So I downloaded the Express Edition and ran again. This time it failed with some ValueError on path which turned out to be an issue with Python being x64 but Visual Studio being 32 bit.
I then made a search and did not find a single opportunity to configure my Express Edition for x64. All tutorials assumed the Professional version.
It can't seriously be correct that I need to buy the Professional version to be able to compile this plugins without some hacking in the code, can it?
Is there any easy way to get this stuff up and running. I would be glad to see someone provide a generic solution like
- Install python
- Install xyz
- Do this and that
So that I can finally just run the usual Unix commands like pip install abc
to install a module. I got this up and running with virtualenv
finally, but as soon as I need to compile I get stuck again.
