Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.
  DEPRECATION: sentencepiece is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: legacy-install-failure

Encountered error while trying to install package.

sentencepiece

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

I'm new to Python, please help. System Windows 10, with MS VC++ installed & updated.

Answer 1

For error message of this type, though the error points to VC++, on the contrary, to resolve

1. Update pip: pip install --upgrade pip
2. Install version of sentencepiece compatible with your Python version.
   For Python 3.10, see Pip install results in this error " cl.exe' failed with exit code 2"

Others worth giving a try:

3. Give pipwin a try.
   PS: pipwin is essentially a complementary tool for pip on Windows. Beware: pipwin installs unofficial python package binaries for windows

4. You may consider having MS Build: Visual C++ build tools, and check the options "C++/CLI support". (NB: might require hefty GB install!)
   For MS Build, you might need to also install or upgrade pip install setuptools --upgrade

Answer 2

Welcome to Python! The error message says what the problem is:

 error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
  [end of output]

Try to pip install every package separately so you have a better picture of which of those requires VC++14. And don't forget to update your VC of course!
