can't install on python3

[Roger]

On python2 intall works fine, but on python3 i get this error http://ix.io/ewv Using Python 3.4.1, ez-setup 0.9 in a virtualenv

I'm getting the same issue. Python 3.4.1 x64, Windows 7, ez-setup 0.9, no virtualenv.

I had this same problem on OS X 10.9.4, Python 3.4.1

I was able to install gizeh by removing the first two lines from setup.py, since I already have a working version of setuptools installed.

Won't install.

@geo7 and if you install manually with "python setup.py install" does it work ?

[geo7]

@Zulko cheers - do I just clone the repo or is there somewhere I can download a zip of gizeh?

[Zulko]

Clone the repo or download the zip from the github page (or the pypi page).

I too had pip install gizeh fail with error: invalid command 'bdist_egg' (on a virtualenv, Python 3.4.0, linux). Reinstalling setuptools fixed this.

In my pip-based virtualenv, I reinstalled setuptools by: (1) Uninstall setuptools, with pip uninstall setuptools distribute. (2) Install setuptools. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/ says "The recommended way to bootstrap setuptools on any system is to download ez_setup.py and run it using the target Python environment.", so I downloaded https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py from there, and ran it python ez_setup.py. And then finally ran pip install ez_setup. Note that merely doing pip install setuptools; pip install ez_setup was not a fix. Nor ez_setup.py by itself. Fyi.

[Zulko]

Thanks @mncharity , I modified the setup.py so that ez_setup won't be a problem anymore. Cheers.

Sorry, guys, I didn't mean to close the issue, I'm waiting to see if there are still problems. It's reopen.
