PEP 517 error during buiding wheel for line-profiler

[amrbibars]

I got this error when I tried to install line-profiler noting that I am using python 3.7 64bit, I already have Microsoft VS 2019 with Build tools installed, tired to install the package from VS environment (using developers CMD), also tried using pip3 and with updated setup tools and wheel.

[tan-wei]

Same issue for me with Python 3.8.5 64bit and MSVC 2019. From my error messages, I think the error is raised from Cython.

We can see related information here. Maybe, some flags should be added with MSVC:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace - DMS_WIN64

[shouldsee]

In case anyone is looking for wheels, you find it on https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#line_profiler

e.g. for 64bit windows python3.7, install with

python3 -m pip install line-profiler@https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/x2tqcw5k/line_profiler-3.0.2-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

[neomatrix369]

@shouldsee https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/x2tqcw5k/line_profiler-xxx are no longer available, it's possible the URL has changed, the new address is:

https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/z2tqcw5k/line_profiler-3.0.2-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

[hbaniecki]

What worked for me with Python 3.8 :
pip install line_profiler@https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/z2tqcw5k/line_profiler-3.0.2-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

other urls: https://pypi.bartbroe.re/line_profiler/

Edit: Also Python 3.8.5 64bit and MSVC 2019.

[Erotemic]

Is this error something that should be resolved within this repo? Or is this an external issue?

[blyind]

worked with python 3.9 using
pip install line_profiler@https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/z2tqcw5k/line_profiler-3.1.0-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
I was about to give up so thanks for the answer @shouldsee
