python setup.py egg_info“失败，错误代码

Question

I am trying to install textract and am getting error messages> I'm using Anaconda so I tried:

pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/pypi/simple textract

I got the following error:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-4rh6j3p5\Ebo

I also tried:

pip install textract

and got the same error.

First I tried to upgrade setup_tools:

pip install --upgrade setuptools

but it says it's already up-to-date

I also tried:

pip install ez_setup

but is says the requirement is already satisfied. I didn't think this would be the issue because I can use pip to install other packages, just not this one.

However, when I try to run ez_setup:

python ez_setup.py

I get this error:

TypeError: chown() missing 1 required positional argument: 'numeric_owner'
PS C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages>

Which I'm not sure is related or not. I also tried:

easy_install textract

And got this error:

Is there anything else I could try?

Answer 1

To start you could try running pip check textract which will verify any dependencies needed for the packed in question.

So it looks like you are running windows, which doesn't seem to be currently supported for textract. See here

You may need the following libraries, and maybe others as well.

1. libxml2 2.6.21 or later is required by the .docx parser which uses lxml via python-docx.
2. libxslt 1.1.15 or later is required by the .docx parser which users lxml via python-docx.
3. python header files are required for building lxml.
4. antiword is required by the .doc parser.
5. pdftotext is optionally required by the .pdf parser (there is a pure python fallback that works if pdftotext isn't installed).
6. pstotext is required by the .ps parser.
7. tesseract-ocr is required by the .jpg , .png and .gif parser.
8. sox is required by the .mp3 and .ogg parser.

You need to install ffmpeg , lame , libmad0 and libsox-fmt-mp3 , before building sox, for these filetypes to work.
