I am trying to install python module Flask-Spyne on Windows and when I type pip install Flask-Spyne, on Sec-Wall collecting TypeError appear.

I am using Python 3.5.1 on Windows 10

This is it:

C:\Windows\system32>pip install flask-spyne

Collecting flask (from flask-spyne)

I tried solve python setup.py egg_info error, nothing. I tried to look at that TypeError, nothing.

Does someone know how to solve it? For any advice I am happy :)

Solution

  • According to Spyne's documentation, it's known to work with Python versions 2.6. and 2.7, but Python 3 support is not tested.

    Also, the error you've got TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str' is what people often experience when migrating their code from python 2.7 to python 3.

    I can reproduce your error when installing the package for python 3.5. And I got no errors when installing it for Python 2.7.

    So, maybe you have to switch to Python 2.7, and/or report the problem to the package's developer.
