如何在Windows上安装python levenshtein？

Question

经过几天的搜索，我已经准备好放弃为Python 2.7（Windows 64位）的Python Levenshtein library找到预编译的二进制文件，所以我并没有试图自己编译它。我已经安装了最新版本的MinGW32（版本0.5-beta-20120426-1），并将其设置为distutils中的默认编译器。

我们开始吧：

C:\Users\tomas>pip install python-levenshtein
Downloading/unpacking python-levenshtein
  Running setup.py egg_info for package python-levenshtein

    warning: no files found matching '*' under directory 'docs'
    warning: no previously-included files matching '*pyc' found anywhere in distribution
    warning: no previously-included files matching '.project' found anywhere in distribution
    warning: no previously-included files matching '.pydevproject' found anywhere in distribution
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): setuptools in c:\python27\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg (from python-levenshtein)
Installing collected packages: python-levenshtein
  Running setup.py install for python-levenshtein
    building 'Levenshtein' extension
    C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c Levenshtein.c -o build\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\levenshtein.o
    cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin'
    error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
    Complete output from command C:\Python27\python.exe -c "import setuptools;__file__='c:\\users\\tomas\\appdata\\local\\temp\\pip-build\\python-levenshtein\\setup.py';exec(compile(open(__file__).rea
d().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record c:\users\tomas\appdata\local\temp\pip-7txyhp-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed:
    running install

running build

running build_ext

building 'Levenshtein' extension

C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c Levenshtein.c -o build\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\levenshtein.o

cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin'

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

现在我被困住了。我假设-mno-cygwin选项已经过时，对我拥有的gcc版本不再有效。如果是这样的话，我仍然不知道该怎么解决。

感谢任何人在这个问题上提供的帮助。

编辑：

删除错误选项后，我手动运行编译行：

C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c Levenshtein.c -o build\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\levenshtein.o

它成功地在build文件夹中提供了levenshtein.o，但是当我尝试运行python setup.py install时，它只是再次尝试构建而失败。在哪里可以删除-mno-cygwin？我想它在distutils的某个地方，但我找不到。

Answer 1

从http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6506下载vcsetup.exe（很抱歉，此链接已断开，原来是VC++2008…）

运行它

完成后打开command.exe

类型：easy_install python-Levenshtein（这假设您已经有了setuptools）

坐好让它安装

完成

对于像pip一样简单的64位安装，请尝试：http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-levenshtein

Answer 3

如果你用水蟒，试试：

conda install -c conda-forge python-levenshtein
