Answer 1

May be your gcc or gcc+ package have some problem. Please install it first, and then try installing pyzipcode again.

"pip install pandas" might help you in installing or updating gcc

Answer 2

When you install pyzipcode, it requires pysqlite. Pysqlite is built from source (hence the mingw involvement), but it requires (at least) the development header file for it.

However, Python 2.7 has a built-in library for sqlite, so this may not be needed. Try using pip with the 'do not install dependencies' option.

pip install --no-deps pyzipcode
