ujson Package Installation Error in Python

Question

When I try to install ujson package in python 3.6 on Windows 10, (which is needed for binance-python library installation) I got this error:

C:\Users\MHT\python_projects\crypto\env\Scripts

  ----------------------------------------
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for ujson
Failed to build ujson
ERROR: Could not build wheels for ujson which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

How could I fix this?

Answer 1

Try to install Visual Studio, here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/ . Often, packages depend on Visual Studio for C/C++ compilers.

It appears it terminates because running the below command:

error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\BuildTools\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.28.29333\\bin\\HostX86\\x86\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

failed. Installing Visual Studio should fix this.
