PyICU2.0.2 fails to install on Windows 7 / python-v'3.6.3 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)

Hi,

I am facing issues while installing PyICU 2.0.2, as I could not succeed installing with pip install or conda install, I tried installing from a local download and get below error.

C:\Users\my101292\Downloads\pyicu-master\pyicu-master>python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):

ICU_VERSION = os.environ['ICU_VERSION']
File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\os.py", line 669, in getitem
raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'ICU_VERSION'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

ICU_VERSION = check_output(('icu-config', '--version')).strip()

The error message says (at the bottom): “Please set the ICU_VERSION environment variable to the version of ICU you have installed.” Did you do that ? Andi..

@ovalhub How can I install ICU C library on windows ?

[ovalhub]

Hmm, I had responded to this over email but it doesn't show here.
This list is about PyICU, not ICU.
To get installation help for ICU, please contact the ICU user list.
See here for more information: http://site.icu-project.org/contacts

Thanks Andi.

I have tried setting values in environmental variable on my Windows7, but it did not help me.
I found wheels for various windows versions here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyicu
you can just download and install from one of these wheels.
