无法在Python上安装表格

Question

I keep getting the error

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-sv33cp8y\tables\

when trying to use

pip install tables

I've tried

pip install --upgrade setuptools

and quite a few other things but still can't get it to work.

The full error that I'm getting is:

I'm basically trying to convert a hdf5 file into a csv and I just can't get it to work or anything at the moment.

Answer 1

Might be a permission issue.

Try :

sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools

Also refer to the discussion here . Some folks had this problem with python version.
