Unable to install cfclient

[jmemon16]

Hi,

I am trying to install cfclient on windows but seeing errors and I am unable to locate what the problem is. Can you please help what am I missing. I have shared below all error logs that I receive in cmd. I am doing windows installation.

I tried with python 3.12 and on suggestion on a issue on this repo I am trying on 3.11 but still no success. I have tried installing all packages manually.

I think you need to downgrade python for now. I use 3.11.2 and it works

Downgraded to Python 3.11.2 but still receive the same error.

Just for the sake of science. Could you upgrade your pip? I have pip version 23.3 myself and I'm also running windows

python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

I upgraded but it does not work

Can you please suggest what version of setuptools I should have? Currently, I have 65.5.0.

[knmcguire]

I have 63.2 on my windows machine

[jmemon16]

Changed to setuptools 63.2- it gives same error

Update:
pip install cfclient does not work for python 3.10 as well. same error. I managed to install from source using git.
pip3 install -e .

This is likely a dependency problem: the version of pyYaml in the current release is not distributed as binary for your platform and you cannot compile it.

If it works installing from source, this is great, we are currently making a new release that is scheduled before the end of the month (it should then be 2023.11), this one will then work for you.
