cygwin - Python 2.7.5 on Cygwin64: requests installation fails -


our project j2ee based development automatic functional , integration tests written in python. test environment linux nonetheless developers use windows 7 (64-bit). able execute functional tests on developer machines (before comitting). unfortunately pexpect-windows-portability issue leave no choice but:

  1. to serious refactoring on our test libraries able use both winpexpect (or wexpect) , pexpect depending on os settings.
  2. or use cygwin. guess what, second option seem have issue :-) using python 2.7.5 on cygwin64 installing requests package results in error:
    • pip says can not find file after downloading , extracting library
    • easy install doesn't throw explicit error, leaves in temporary dir
    • after copying files under site-packages directory simple import requests in python causes interpreter exit

has encountered problem? with cygwin-32 requests install smoothly. (however have other issues - see next post ;-))

thank in advance: joe, public

also ran same issues when trying install requests, options on http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/install/#install did not work. went https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests , clicked on "download zip" , got requests-master.zip.
