Closed 10 months ago.
I have tried installing win32com on python version 3.8.8 using several methods finally settling on
!python -m pip install pypiwin32
However I am getting this error.

Last time I used win32com I installed the package pywin32, not pypiwin32. I am not sure how well pypiwin32 is maintained, as there is no project description on pypi and it only has 3 Releases, the last being in 2018 (https://pypi.org/project/pypiwin32/).
So maybe try this one:
https://pypi.org/project/pywin32/

Failed to build pypiwin32

Alright so what I've been trying to do the past hour is install the pywintypes lib and searched up that it was pypiwin32 instead but it doesn't work it fails to build additionally tried installing it manually by downloading the source and running setup.py but got same err: I get this error and I have python 3.10

I am trying install geopandas. I have using codes I can't find but i keep getting error messages. I have geopy already installed but can't install geopandas.
Result i had when running installation with anaconda prompt:

Can someone tell what to do?

It s better to use Anaconda distribution for more complex packages. Use install anaconda and then create an environment for the project. After that, you could use conda-forge to take care of all the compatibility problems

Error installing geopandas:“ A GDAL API version must be specified ” in Visual Studio Code

This error raised while installing geopandas in vs code. I've looking for its solution on the web, but none of them really explain what happened and how to solve it..

First you need to do is to install gdal package. I install it by pip with:
pip install https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/w4tscw6k/GDAL-3.2.2-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
Tips: Do not install it directly through the normal pip usage: pip install gdal . You can find a compatible version of gdal for your python3.x Here.
After you have installed gdal, you can do that for fiano, Eg:
pip install https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/w4tscw6k/Fiona-1.8.18-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
Finally, all of them can be installed successfully...

Fiona which is a dependency of geopandas requires a GDAL instance. When installing it needs looks to the PATH environment variable to find the GDAL location. If the PATH doesn't have a reference it fails to install. I found a work around is to grab the GDAL and fiona whl files and install from a local copy.

After installing shapely/gdal/fiona, I use pip install keplergl in jupyter notebook, the error shows

I have tried conda remove gdal and conda install geopandas, and uninstall and refresh package, but it doesn't work.
Is there any solution? Please help me with this problem : )

When trying to install this I got the same error. My full error was:

Here if you look closely you can see the specific line:

Upon looking this up I found this stack overflow question which states that this error has something to do with geopandas. Now the full response in my command prompt was:

If my assumption is correct then the error revolves around this area and so the stack overflow question has some importance (based on a educational guess - could be entirely wrong here 😅😅😅). From the first answer to be shown (with 7 up-votes), that has been posted by #JDOaktown, you can see that there are more than one item required for geopandas. As stated in the answer:
pip install wheels
pip install pipwin
pipwin install numpy
pipwin install pandas
pipwin install shapely
pipwin install gdal
pipwin install fiona
pipwin install pyproj
pipwin install six
pipwin install rtree
pipwin install geopandas
Source source source.
If you still have problems,
consider uninstalling the above (pip uninstall) and reinstalling.

that one of the items you are told to install is relevant. Not only that - it is before installing Fiona that the error occurs for me - it may be entirely different for you. This answer however does not help much as it is for installing geopandas only and stops before installing the target keplergl. So if you keep going down you reach a post by #Josh Friedlander which has 13 up-votes. Here he states:
Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) is a library designed for
vector geospatial data formats. It's a prerequisite for installing
Fiona, the Python API for OGR (which doesn't really stand for
anything), which is in turn a prerequisite for Geopandas. On UNIX-like
systems the gdal-config script tells Fiona stuff about your particular
gdal installation.
It seems that your gdal-config is not in one of the usual places on
your PATH, so Fiona was unable to find it.
If you're using Anaconda, best is to remove gdal with conda remove
gdal and then do a fresh conda install geopandas.
As a general rule, if you're using Conda you should never use pip to
install something inside it unless you're absolutely sure conda offers
no support for it. (Many package can be found on conda by specifying
the right channel - -c argument.) And specifically in the case of
geopandas, the maintainers recommend using conda over pip, since pip
requires you to install the dependencies correctly.
There are a few links so see HERE for them all. From here it is clear that conda is the way to go. After pip and pipwin installing all the components as instructed in the first answer I mentioned I went down to the Anaconda section (the second answer I have mention) and completed those steps. Now I have no more issues and the pip install works. If you still have issues then send me the error and I will have a look at it again. If the issues are the same then I cannot aid you any further. In the answer posted by #Pawan Upadhyay and then edited by #Bruno I found that I was getting:
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in c:\users\tom\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\lib\site-packages (46.1.3)
which means that it was not the issue for me. If it was for you then congrats on finding a shorter path than the one posted by me. Otherwise give this a try. I hope it was useful.
Documentation for further reference.

it means your tools are not up to date
Can you try this in command prompt?
