I've been at this for nearly 2 hours and I just can't seem to get my head around it. I am a novice Pythoner, it would appear. I am trying to intsall lxml, (needed to install scrapy). I have tried multiple methods (see my other current quesitons).
Currently I am trying the following. I downloaded the lxml win 32 file for python 2.7 from this website: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/3.4.4#downloads The LXML Binaries are also available here: "http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml"
I download the .whl file.
I then open up CMD, and CD to my download folder. Once in that folder I run the following command (as per the answer to this question here: How do I install a Python package with a .whl file?)
pip install lxml-3.4.4-cp27-none-win32.whl
This is the output:
C:\Users\Charles\Downloads\python>pip install lxml-3.4.4-cp27-none-win32.whl
Downloading/unpacking lxml-3.4.4-cp27-none-win32.whl
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement lxml-3.4.4-cp27- none
-win32.whl
No distributions at all found for lxml-3.4.4-cp27-none-win32.whl
Storing complete log in C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Roaming\pip\pip.log
Can anyone help me figure out what this means/what is going on? How can I execute this file to install the lxml as needed? Many thanks!!
Edit: I am using Windows 64 bit, but from this question here: "easy_install lxml on Python 2.7 on Windows" the file I have selected appears to be the correct one.
I am using Windows 64 bit and use Scrapy. It took a while for me to figure out the best way to set up my virtualenv because lxml would not simply pip install.
So I did somethine very similar to what you did but it looks at first glance we may just be using different sites. So try downloading this .whl from HERE. Specifically, for your specifications I believe, grab the one that reads
lxml-3.4.4-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
and then just cd to the downloads folder and pip install lxml-3.4.4-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
