I haven't been able to install this module, it fails when it tries to install the pyswisseph dependency. I've been able to manually install the pyswisseph wheel, but the installer for flatlib still tries to uninstall and reinstall it, causing it to still fail. What's the solution?

same here, the error is

cannot open include file: 'wtypes.h': No such file or directory error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\BuildTools\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.29.30037\\bin\\HostX86\\x86\\cl.exe' failed with exit code 2

here is link to complete error:

Currently the correct wheels aren't uploaded to pypi, we're planning to at some point, but for the moment i recommend doing the following;

  • Download these artifacts (they're for 2.08.00-1, which is what flatlib uses rn)
  • Unzip them. This can be anywhere (even amongst other files in your download folder), just note down the exact path of where.
  • When installing flatlib, add the following flag; --find-links, and then add that path.
  • Pip should find the right files to install, and not try to compile pyswisseph for you.

ok, i have irc'd pyswisseph author and pyswisseph pypi maintainer, we solved the issue, i guess pypi will be updated somewhere soon, the error should be resolved for windows users.

lol, jonathan was faster than me, a second or two

have fun,

edit: if you are not really well versed with coding, here is what you should write, in command line:
pip install flatlib --find-links "D:\dev\temp"
replace "D:\dev\temp" with "path\to\your\folder" where unziped files are
