When tried to install Twisted for Python 3.6.3 it keeps on throwing a particular error :
building 'twisted.test.raiser' extension
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
Tried install the Visual-Cpp-build tools but its a massive 4 + gigs download so is there any other way to do it .. Also I have all the redistributable.
I also had the same problem
what I did is install it manually
got to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted
and download suitable twisted version.
then
pip install Twisted-18.9.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
hope this solves for you too
Installing Scrapy on Windows can be a real struggle. Some strange errors can occur.
That's why the scrapy documentation recommands to use Anaconda for the scrapy installation. I think you should give it a try if you are working on Windows.
First you need to install Anaconda following this tutorial.
Then you just need to run this command conda install -c conda-forge scrapy
and you are good to go.

I'm trying to install a package on Python, but Python is throwing an error on installing packages. I'm getting an error every time I tried to install pip install google-search-api.
Here is the error how can I successfully install it?
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
I already updated that and have the latest version of 14.27 but the problem is throwing the same error.
Go to this link and download Microsoft C++ Build Tools:
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
Open the installer, then follow the steps.
You might have something like this, just download it or resume.
If updating above doesn't work then you need to configure or make some updates here. You can make some updates here too by clicking "Modify".
Check that and download what you need there or you might find that you just need to update Microsoft Visual C++ as stated on the error, but I also suggest updating everything there because you might still need it on your future programs. I think those with the C++ as I've done that before and had a similar problem just like that when installing a python package for creating WorldCloud visualization.
UPDATE: December 28, 2020
You can also follow these steps here:
Select: Workloads → Desktop development with C++
Then for Individual Components, select only:
Windows 10 SDK
C++ x64/x86 build tools
You can also achieve the same automatically using the following command:
vs_buildtools.exe --norestart --passive --downloadThenInstall --includeRecommended --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools
Reference:
https://www.scivision.dev/python-windows-visual-c-14-required
2020 - redist/build tools for Visual C++
silent installs can be done using the following two commands :
vs_buildtools__370953915.1537938681.exe --quiet --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools
and
VC_redist.x64.exe /q /norestart
Upgrade your pip with: python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Upgrade your wheel with: pip install --upgrade wheel
Upgrade your setuptools with: pip install --upgrade setuptools
Close the terminal
Try installing the package again.
I tried everything and then finally, downgrading from python 3.10 to 3.9 is what worked. (I noticed it in this comment, but it is a bit different scenario: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70617749/17664284 )
check if no older version of Microsoft Visual C++ are installed. If so uninstall them.
I encounered the above-mentionned problem when using virtualenv. Using conda environment instead solved the problem. Conda automatically installs vs2015_runtime which compiles the wheels with no problem.
In addition to the verified answer by #ice bear, just make sure to reboot your system after downloading and installing the latest visual studio build tools. And then the error you might be getting would go!
Tried Prason's approach. Also tried the fix suggested here
conda install -c conda-forge implicit
pip install --upgrade gensim
here is my error ERROR: Could not build wheels for multidict, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I just came back from vacation and after getting a bunch of windows updates, I am no longer able to work with my python env. All the libraries in my virtual env have stopped to work and I kept receiving error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Toolswhen trying to install them again.
I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ build tools again and now it works for some of them(pandas for example). However, for most of libraries(Office365-REST-Python-Client as an example), I am getting this :
error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\BuildTools\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.26.28801\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

Running setup.py clean for cryptography
Failed to build cryptography
Failed building wheel for cryptography
Could not build wheels for cryptography which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly
BUT I do not have cryptography installed at this point. I have used it in one of my projects before and it seems like those leftovers are breaking something. However, I don't really know where to look for them. I have re-installed python(i have tried few versions as well) to a different location but the problem prevails. Problem occurs from Pycharm and command line.I am really confused so I would appreciate any advice!
Thank you in advance!
What I would suggest is to remove all Python versions and distributions.
Then re-install Python from python.org. You should probably use the "Windows x86-64 executable installer".
Download and install all Python modules you want as wheels (.whl extension). That way you shouldn't have to build anything yourself.
I am on a windows 10 machine and recently moved from python 2.7 to 3.5. When trying to install lxml through pip, it stops and throws this error message-
building 'lxml.etree' extension
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
I have a working copy of VS 2015 installed. When I try to install the visual cpp tools through that link, it says that Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 is already installed on the machine. I also tried installing visual studio c++ 2015 redistributables, both 64 and 32 bit versions, but both of them say that there's another version of the product already installed.
typing set in the command prompt includes this -
VS140COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\
Which means that the path is set.
This is probably the only resource I could find on SO, but the answer suggests rolling back to Python 3.4.3 from 3.5. Has anybody resolved problems of this kind?
Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)
EDIT: I managed to install it using the precompiled binary (Thanks Paul), but I would still like to know what's causing this.
Have you checked that when you installed Visual Studio, you installed the C++ compiler? It seems like a silly question, but this is the mistake I made. Check by going into the setup for visual studio (Programs and features: Modify "Visual Studio 2015"), then under Programming Languages->VC++, make sure it's ticked.
Run pip install wheel
Download lxml from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml, if your python version is 3.5 , download lxml-3.6.4-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl.
Run python -m pip install lxml-3.6.4-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl
As an update to the answer from #davidsheldon above, if you want to use Visual Studio Build Tools 2017 instead of 2015, it will work.
I found that the default install of the build tools stand alone was not enough, however, I added `VC++ 2015.3 ... toolset for desktop (x86,x64) and then python was happy:
I've found another solution to get through this:
Because I use anaconda python, so I use this code:
conda install -c conda-forge scrapy
I have same question with you! I found a way no need install vs2015,maybe,you just haven't install twisted.http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted .download twisted --version（Twisted‑17.5.0‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl）(maybe win_amd32.whl if 64didn't work)，and run : pip PATH + filename
pip install C:\Users\CR\Downloads\Twisted-17.5.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install Scrapy
I just install successful! good luck for you!
my step to insatll scrapy:
1.pip install wheel
2.pip install lxml
3.pip install pyOpenSSL
4.pip install Twisted (fault->do like above)
5.install pywin32 form : https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20220/
6.pip Scrapy (succesful)
Had the same problem and noticed that I had installed the 32bit version in a 64bit machine. All I did was uninstall the wrong one and install the right version and it worked fine.
Easiest way to achieve this, can be automated as it doesn't require user input:
python -m pip install https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/archived/lxml-4.9.0-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl
This will install the 64-bit version on your machine.
First:
pip install wheel
Second： go to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml
and download proper wheel.
pip install the file you downloaded (.whl).
I already have anaconda installed version 4.5.4, i went to the cmd to install scrapy referring to the docs pip install Scrapy and got the following error:
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
I tried going to that link but they just give me error 404 page not found.
Go to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted to download crossponding whl which may needed when install scrapy.
Then install it: e.g. pip install C:\Twisted-17.5.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl, depends on your python version and platform, you may need to download different whl. BTW,cp36 mean cpython3.6.
Finally pip install Scrapy again.
You did not give the full error, and I forgot what others needed. If need others, you can also find it on that web. With this, you can no need to install VC++ and quickly make your environment ready.
You need to install the visual c++ build tools. The link in the error message seems like it's dead, but you can download them here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017
Note that while the error is calling for visual c++ 14.0 - everything will work with newer versions of visual c++.
I'm trying to install scrapy on win7. One dependency is python-crfsuite. When I run :
pip install python-crfsuite==0.8.4
It fails repeatedly finally giving:
copying pycrfsuite\__init__.py -> build\lib.win32-2.7\pycrfsuite
running build_ext
building 'pycrfsuite._pycrfsuite' extension
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27
Are there any precompiled binary files for win32 for this package?
If you already have a version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed with Common tools. All you need to do is run this command.
set VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS140COMNTOOLS%
Assuming you have Visual Studio 14 installed currently.
Adding this answer to help people who are still trying to install python-crfsuite years later.
I was getting an error message about needing to install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 when asking pip to install python-crfsuite on Python 3.8, Windows 10. It kept saying Microsoft Visual C++ is needed to create the wheel.
What finally worked for me was to install python-crfsuite on Python 3.7.4.
I suspect it worked because the python-crfsuite wheel on PyPI was not available for Python 3.8, but it was available for Python 3.7. You can the check the package's PyPI page to see which wheels are available
https://pypi.org/project/python-crfsuite/#files
Also, if
pip install python-crfsuite
is not working for you, try downloading the wheel and get pip to install it instead.
