Is your issue occurring when trying to run pip install allen-bradley-toolkit? If so, can you post what error is being thrown on the terminal?

Answer 2 · 2018-02-26T14:59:35.000Z

Make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools Installed before running pip install allen-bradley-toolkit. Doing this may resolve your issue. Please let me know if this was helpful or if something else is causing your issue.

I initially got the error "setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1" when installing using pip install. So I tried installing it locally using *pip install -e "path to toolkit" * that seemed to be successful except the package isn't in the site-package folder. Now when I try installing it using pip install it says it's already there. I'll try C++ Build tools

If you run pip freeze is allen-bradley-toolkit or lxml listed? If so, I would go ahead and run pip uninstall <package> on those two packages to ensure a clean start. I checked the install on my PC and got the error you are describing setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1. Installing the C++ build tools seemed to fix it as the package installed successfully. What version of Python are you running? This package is tested on Python 2.7. You may also want to run pip install --upgrade setuptools before reinstalling the toolkit.

Answer 6 · 2018-02-26T18:02:22.000Z

both allen-bradley-toolkit and lxml are listed when running pip freeze. I'm running version 2.7, I'll try uninstalling, make sure C++ is installed and install it again see if that works. Thanks for the help! Mike

Also, I found another bug that resulted from the name change and fixed it so you may need to run pip install allen-bradley-toolkit -U to update to the latest version once you do get it installed.

Keep me posted and not a problem!

Hi Canaan, I installed the C++ Build tools and tried installing the allen bradley toolkit again but am still getting the same error - python setup egg_info failed with error code 1. I'm running windows 7, can't think of why it's not working Mike

Answer 9 · 2018-03-01T17:35:10.000Z

Hmmm, did you uninstall the instances you had before trying to reinstall?

Answer 10 · 2018-03-01T17:41:23.000Z

Yeah I uninstalled everything and started from scratch then reinstalled everything. Worst case I can just paste the libraries into the site packages folder - Just wondering if you had an easy solution

Can you screenshot the complete error you are getting in the terminal. I am recreating your issue in a windows 7 VM and getting a similar issue. I want to verify that it is the same one so I can get to the root.

Answer 12 · 2018-03-01T21:33:01.000Z

I think I fixed the issue... You should be able to install now. If it doesnt work with pip install allen-bradley-toolkit then you may need to run with the ignore cached downloads flag by running pip install --no-cache-dir allen-bradley-toolkit

Let me know if this resolves the issue.

Answer 13 · 2018-03-02T12:52:25.000Z

It looks like it installed properly. Thanks for looking into it!
