My problem is:

I am having trouble for installing RDF package. I am using python 3.6.3.

C:\Users\suresh\Downloads>pip --no-cache-dir install RDF

Collecting RDF

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\suresh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-62ewx87w\RDF\

Any suggestions to solve this problem, so that I can install the RDF package? Please suggest me any solution if you have ever encounter this problem before.


Solution

  • Setup script of RDF package is erroneous. It is specified to work with Python3 but uses the try...catch syntax of Python2. You can either use the package with Python2 or follow up with the developer of RDF package to fix the install issue for Python3. The package is broken for Python3 at the moment.
