使用pip命令在Mac OSX上安装sikuli

Question

I tried to install sikuli on Mac OSX using the following command:

pip install sikuli But it is shown that I have to install Cytho first.

So I tried to install Cython using the commnd: pip install Cython

but got the following error

Exception:

    with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst:

Can anybody help me in this?

pip install --user cython or sudo pip install cython

Regular users do not have permissions to write to system directories ( /Library/Python/.. ). Either install only for current user, or sudo it to install in system path.

Note - this has nothing to do with cython.
