ERROR: Could not build wheels for tulipy which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

Question

so I have checked every post that relates to this issue and I still can't seem to make this work. I am trying to install tulipy using pip on a Windows machine. I've installed numerous other pip based programs with no issues. I tried reinstalling VS Build Tools, but that doesn't seem to help either. I need tulipy for a project I'm working on, so I can't use any alternatives.

This might be old, but if anyone is looking how to install tulipy. It's in https://pypi.org/project/newtulipy/.

Try this:

pip install pip==18.1

if that doesn't work try this:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

If that doesn't work try updating Microsoft visual studio to a current version if that doesn't work...

I found the solution. I was using Python 3.9 and that was incompatible with tulipy. When I installed Python 3.7.6 it worked like a charm.

The latest supported version is up to python3.7, if your python version is higher, it is not supported.

You can download whl file of tulipy form here.

Then use pip install tulipy-0.4.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl to install.
