Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output - while installing auto-py-to-exe through pip

Question

I am trying to download auto-py-to-exe on a different (windows) device than I usually use through pip. However when run I get the error (sorry it is so very very long):

Answer 1

Allow prerelease gevent versions via

$ pip install gevent --pre
$ pip install auto-py-to-exe

Explanation: auto-py-to-exe is installable on Python 3.8 on Windows without any issues (this can be verified e.g. by running pip install auto-py-to-exe --no-deps). However, it requires bottle-websocket to be installed, which in turn has gevent dependency. gevent did not release a stable version that offers prebuilt wheels for Python 3.8 yet (this would be 1.5), so pip doesn't pick up prebuilt wheels and tries to build gevent==1.4 from source dist. Installing the prerelease 1.5 version of gevent avoids this.

Answer 2

In your problem there are two problems occured

1. IndexError: list index out of range.
2. distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required
