ZODB 3 for 64 bit windows

I tried to install ZODB3 for 64 bit Python 2.7 with pip. This installation requires a local compiler to compile the BTrees extension. As I do not have the needed MS compiler installed:

  • Is there a binary 64 bit Windows installer for ZODB on Python 2.7 ? I used Google but did not succeed
  • Is BTrees really required or can I install ZODB3 without BTrees ?

Cherrs, Uwe.

Solution

  • The ZODB3 package comes with pre-compiled eggs for Windows, see the PyPI page for ZODB3.

    You need to tell pip explicitly that it needs to install an egg; it normally does not support installing from an egg:

    pip install --egg ZODB3

    Alternatively, you could use easy_install instead.
