Issues installing pynini

Question

I'm having issues installing Pynini for python. I tried doing it with using pip. From the command line it seems to work, but once I start testing functions, there is nothing, basically.
I tried downloading the tar.gz in http://www.openfst.org/twiki/bin/view/GRM/PyniniDownload and from then, pip it, but it fails to build the 'wheel'.
It doesn't really tell me much more than this. I looked into the prereqs, but I'm now wondering if it is somehow related to python version. I'm using python 3 ...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

a standard-complying C++ 11 compiler is in system requirements (see openfst.org/twiki/pub/GRM/PyniniDownload/README.rst ). try mingW64

Windows C++ compiler with full C++11 support (should work with Qt)
