No, I don't have pip on the windows PC ... I have copied the directory into Using pip on my mac worked fine, no issues there :) On 9 March 2015 at 17:32, Felix Zumstein notifications@github.com wrote:

You should not copy it into site-packages. Just unpack (anywhere, e.g. your desktop), |
Hm, does not seem to make any difference, but I assume it might come down

ah - are you downloading the source from github? you need to download it from PyPI - github source doesn't include the dlls. |
ok, that worked, thanks for your help! |
Hi Felix,
Thanks for your continued great work on this project, xlwings has made my interactions with numerous spreadsheets a lot easier.
However, I've been trying to install the latest release on my win7 PC, but so far I have not been successful. The "OSError: currently only Windows and OSX are supported" is raised every time I run 'setup.py install':
Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 23, in <module> raise OSError("currently only Windows and OSX are supported.") OSError: currently only Windows and OSX are supported.
I have tried to comment-out the exception handler (replaced with 'pass'), and then the installation runs to the point where it tries to copy the dll but cannot find the file:
byte-compiling C:\Users\u823003\Portable Python 2.7.6.1\App\Lib\site-packages\xlwings\_xlwindows.py to _xlwindows.pyc byte-compiling C:\Users\u823003\Portable Python 2.7.6.1\App\Lib\site-packages\xlwings\__init__.py to __init__.pyc
running install_data
error: can't copy 'xlwings32.dll': doesn't exist or not a regular file
I'd be grateful for your help with this. Many Thanks,
Louisa
