Question

I get this error:

E:\opensource_codes\semi-auto-anno\src>pip install progressbar
Collecting progressbar
  Downloading progressbar-2.3.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\mona6\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-0_37al8d\progressbar\

and I have:

how should I install progressbar for Python 3.6.0?

Answer 1

I had been facing the same issue when trying to implement the progressbar for a code. Above suggestion : conda install progressbar2 still holds good.

In case you IDE does not identify the installation, restart and retry. You may install this package in your Virtual environment separately in case you are using one.

The import in your program however, does not change. It still remains :

import progressbar

Not sure if it is the best method, but it works for me:

$ git clone https://github.com/coagulant/progressbar-python3.git
