Can not install through pip

[jerreyz]

I can't seem to install the package through pip.

I get the error Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\JEROEN~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-oykpg240\nbgraph\

and File "C:\Users\Jeroen De Ryck\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\distutils\util.py", line 125, in convert_path raise ValueError("path '%s' cannot be absolute" % pathname) ValueError: path '/' cannot be absolute

Any ideas?

Hi, I haven't seen this issue before but it may be a Windows-specific thing. I don't have a Windows machine so I can only guess but I think it might have to do with find_packages. I just uploaded a new version 0.0.4 to pypi (pip) that doesn't use find_packages, does that work for you?

[jerreyz]

Yeah it seems to be a Windows issue, works fine on a Mac jupyter notebook Also maybe worth mentioning that the graph doesn't show up in jupyter lab, but since it`s still in alpha thats not surprising

Thanks, let me know if you have a chance to try again on windows and if it works now that I've updated it.

Tried it at work today but it's still a negative. I'm still getting a absolute path value error.

Kind regards

I'm getting exactly the same error trying to pip install pycraft ,
from disutils/util.py 'convert_path(f[0])' statement in line 145

Ok, I'm making note of this to have a look this weekend.

Thanks very much Paul for looking at this - I'm really baffled and very out-of-my-depth when the install compiling and buidling C libraries process fails Best wishes Nick
