python / django with mssql

the message indicates that the failure is logged into a pip.log file, which you should check for further details ...

is this log file re.py?

and what do i do about this?

I found this explanation:  

 ... because of the following code from line 7 of setup.py in the traceback:

version = re.search('__version__ = "(.+?)"', f.read()).group(1)

This should work if the search pattern was a bytes object. A byte literal can be created by simply pre-pending the string literal with a b like the following:

version = re.search(b'__version__ = "(.+?)"', f.read()).group(1) 

Select allOpen in new window

not sure if that will solve your case, but it looks like it's the same issue: the package is not correctly tested, visibly...

here are the lines of code:

158: def search(pattern, string, flags=0):
159: """Scan through string looking for a match to the pattern, returning
160: a match object, or None if no match was found."""
161: return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string)

what are the edits you are suggesting?

thanks

or if not suggesting edits are you saying forget it?

So I discovered that the newest version of Python that works with the unofficial django-mssql is 2.7

Thanks

using an older version of Python was the solution
