The easiest way to run the pyswisseph package is to use it on an Ubuntu VM using the free Google Colab platform. For a sample code, please follow this link and then create your own copy of the notebook file and it should work.

Finally figured out how to get the module working in windows. we have to use an unofficial windows binary , wheel file from ' https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/'. there are different wheel's for different versions of python and updates of the module. i used :pyswisseph‑2.5.1.post0‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl. use the wheel which suits your python/windows version Solution: all you have to do is open command window, type ' pip install pyswisseph‑2.5.1.post0‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl' and it gets installed.

Unfortunately, by switching to an UNIX-y system such as Linux or macOS (or maybe with a GCC-based toolchain like MinGW on Windows).

The package does not seem compatible with Windows/Visual Studio; the setup.py file is chock full of assumptions that only make sense on UNIXes.

EDIT: The package works fine on macOS:
