[reportlab-users] New machine, install problems

[Robin Becker]

Glen,

the major version at pypi lacks 3.5 support as 3.5 arrived well after it was 
released. However, you can get the latest micro builds by visiting

https://www.reportlab.com/pypi

or by using the -ihttps://www.reportlab.com/pypi option with pip.

You will need a user id and login which can be obtained here

http://www.reportlab.com/accounts/register/

If you are already using this route can you say what file was actually down loaded.

looks like this is a source version and pip is trying to build the extension, 
but that fails if you lack the compiler infrastructure etc etc.
