Some projects are distributed on PyPI as source code, and sometimes that source code has C modules that need to be compiled. The same can be true with packages that ship with Rust modules.
Both might require you to have compiler toolchains installed.
- pid-1 4y agoAlso some compiled code might need to be statically linked to other deps. A practical example: on Windows, try 'pip install tokenizers'.
- dwattttt 4y agoI was curious what would go wrong, this just worked for me: py -3 -m pip install tokenizers ... Building wheel for tokenizers (pyproject.toml) ... done Created wheel for tokenizers: filename=tokenizers-0.13.2-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl
- heavyset_go 4y agoLooks like if you try to install it via source you might need a compiler/linker toolchain installed for its Rust bindings.
