Installation of packages Pycharm 64-bit fails

Question

I was previously on the path on working towards being able to obtain SEC 10K filings from Edgar, wherein I used a bloggers code for inspiration. When running this code in Pycharm 32-bit, I kept getting a "MemoryError" - which as far as I know is related to not having enough RAM (since 32-bit can only use 4GB).. I have 8GB of DDR3, so I figured if I installed Pycharm 64-bit, I should be ok!

However, when trying to set up the 64-bit version, and installing the same packages that I used previously in order to run the code again, I get the following error:

Collecting python-edgar

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\PPB92\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-82zmyasf\\python-edgar\\README.md'

Does anyone know what I can do? I have very limited experience in programming, since I am a graduate student in finance and accounting..

It looks like there is problem in library itself, i have raised the issue on git. For now you can do:

git clone git@github.com:edouardswiac/python-edgar.git 

in your site-packages and under python-edgar folder run :

python setup.py install
