Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in c:\temp\pip-build-9s6c_h\pyenchant\

Question

Having trouble installing pyenchant:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in c:\temp\pip-build-9s6c_h\pyenchant\

I tried using pip install --upgrade setuptools but that didn't help at all.

Not sure what to do.

EDIT:

Additional traceback:

Collecting pyenchant
  Using cached pyenchant-1.6.11.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "c:\temp\pip-build-farfu_\pyenchant\setup.py", line 212, in <module>
        import enchant
      File "enchant\__init__.py", line 92, in <module>
        from enchant import _enchant as _e
      File "enchant\_enchant.py", line 145, in <module>
        raise ImportError(msg)
    ImportError: The 'enchant' C library was not found. Please install it via your OS package manager, or use a pre-built binary wheel from PyPI.

Is there anything else in the stack trace pointing to an error? — Michael Platt, Nov 14 '17 at 18:25
So it looks like you don't have `enchant` installed based on your output. If you are running in on Linux you would want to do an `apt-get install enchant` or whatever the package is called. Same with Mac using `brew` I believe. — Michael Platt, Nov 14 '17 at 18:42
Checkout this page and all the comments. From what I can tell, they haven't made a pip wheel package for this plugin. https://github.com/rfk/pyenchant/issues/42 — Michael Platt, Nov 14 '17 at 18:46

I think you can use the whl file instead, for exammple:

pip install name.whl

I also encountered this problem today. Fortunately, I used this method to solve it.

pip install basemap-1.1.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
