Python pip install reportlab error

Question:

I am trying to install reportlab for python. I have Windows 7, Python 2.7 and Visual Studio 2013 and I am using the command line “pip install reportlab” but it is not working.

I have the pip log file data that was generated – what is the best way to get this file attached to my question so that others can view it?

Here is the last section of the log file/command line:

Answers:

You’re not missing the file, it’s just unable to be found.

Try these codes in the following order:

python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32

then:

python setup.py install

Get a precompiled binary here:

Installing non-compiled Python libraries on Windows is a pain: don’t put yourself through it. Just make it simple: get something already made for you.

I found issues to install reportlab in python 2.7

I recommend you to upgraded with python 3.6 and you can install reportlab using pip command

‘pip install reportlab’
