pip install on windows

[aborruso]

The install process does not verify colorama dependency

[sigmavirus24]

Did you try pip install --no-use-wheel httpie? I think the logic for dependencies is potentially an issue (considering colorama is only added to install_requires if it's not a wheel.

Also could you tell us what version of pip you're using?

[aborruso]

I have tried "regular" installation and it does not work in windows. The error log tells me about colorama, I have installed it, and then httpie installation works properly.

[sigmavirus24]

@aborruso could you reopen this? This still seems like a bug.

[aborruso]

Yes @sigmavirus24 and thank you

[sigmavirus24]

@aborruso which version of pip are you using?

[aborruso]

pip 1.5.4

[sigmavirus24]

I don't see anything in pip's changelog to indicate that this would be fixed. I think that helps us narrow this down to httpie's setup.py.

[aborruso]

Ok and thank you @sigmavirus24

httpie seems a great tool

I think this is the same as #227.

@sigmavirus24 The logic for dependencies is a work in progress (only in master for now). The idea is to make the conditional dependencies work with both wheel and non-wheel installs. It's a bit tricky though.

[sigmavirus24]

You're right it is the same as #227. Also, sorry for mistaking what was released. I'm so used to "master" being what was included in the last release and some other branch being the head of development.

I can confirm the same problem.

On Windows fresh Python 3.4, pip version 1.5.6.

After:

$ pip install httpie

running httpie:

$ http

complains about problems to import colorama

Installing colorama:

$ pip install colorama

resolves the problem.

Same issue on fresh install:

• Windows 8.1 x64
• Python 2.7.8
• pip 1.5.6
• httpie 0.8.0

Installing colorama as suggested solved my issue.

[jkbrzt]

The just released HTTPie v0.9.0 should solve this issue. You'll need the latest pip:

pip install -U pip
pip install httpie

http --version
0.9.0

[aborruso]

it works, thank you
