Thanks for reporting. Which operating system and which python version are using?

I can confirm this issue occurs on Python 2. We are developing only on Python 3.6+. We should at least make that more clear in the README.md. Maybe also test for this in setup.py?

@dodijk is correct I'm using Python2 and my OS is Ubuntu 16.04

Same issue for python3

Hi Sachin, thanks! We've recently fixed several issues that probably prevented you from installing successfully. Could you maybe try again?

There is a problem with the cld2-cffi package when compiling with new compilers : GregBowyer/cld2-cffi#21

To install you need to set CFLAGS environment variable:
export CFLAGS="-Wno-narrowing"
pip install textpipe

The error still exists. When I try installing textpipe on Ubuntu 20.04 using pip3 with python 3.8.5, I get the error

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.

The same error occurs when trying to run the code on Google Colab.

Hi @tanvi2612 can you provide the output of
gcc -v ?

[sachinchavan9]

@tanvi2612

CFLAGS="-Wno-narrowing" pip install textpipe

this works for me
on Arch Linux witch gcc gcc version 10.2.0 (GCC)
