Unable to install sasl-0.1.3 python package on windows machine

Question

I am trying to install sasl-0.1.3 python package on windows 7 (64 bit machine). It is fialing wiht C1083 fatal error.

Looks like saslwrapper.cpp is unable to include sasl/sasl.h library in c++ module.

Please help me in resolving the issue. Let me know if you need more details.

I installed python 2.7 on my machine.

Answer 1

The easier way I find to install sasl on windows 7 is to use the pre-compiled version from here : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

There is a direct link to the sasl librairies here : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#sasl just pick the one you need.

Then you install it using pip :

pip install sasl-0.1.3-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

Hope it helps,
