如何在Python3上安装Bob？

Question

I have installed all necessary dependencies on CentOS and Python levels and have thougt I'm near the finish but this is what I have got at the end. And now I have no idea how to make it work.

Installed /tmp/easy_install-3f76uq1w/bob.blitz-2.0.13/.eggs/bob.extension-2.4.5-py3.4.egg
In file included from /usr/include/python3.4m/pyatomic.h:8:0,
                 from /usr/include/python3.4m/Python.h:53,
                 from /tmp/easy_install-3f76uq1w/bob.blitz-2.0.13/bob/blitz/include/bob.blitz/capi.h:24,

                 from bob/blitz/api.cpp:9:
/usr/include/python3.4m/dynamic_annotations.h:472:3: error: template with C linkage

    % (cmd, exit_status))
distutils.errors.DistutilsExecError: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

It seems this error somewhere inside Python or its libs. And unfortunately I'm not so familiar with C, Linux and Python to fix it by myself. Also I haven't found any workaround in google.

Does workaround for this really exist?

I know about Anaconda and using Bob via its environment. But I need to cythonize my python app for calling it from C. And I'm not sure that it will work fine.

This might be too late to answer.

The version of gcc you are using might be old and does not support new C++ features.

Also about your concern on not using conda, you can use cython with a conda installation as well.
