Question

I’m trying to install the Gevent beta which is hosted on Google Code here but I can’t seem to get the command right (I keep getting a cannot detect archive format error). What is the command to pip install gevent-1.0b4 from Google Code?

Here is the command and error:


(venv)zak$ pip install https://code.google.com/p/gevent/gevent-1.0b4.tar.gz
Downloading/unpacking https://code.google.com/p/gevent/gevent-1.0b4.tar.gz

Answer 1

Your URL is wrong, it returns a 404 (which you can verify by visiting it in your browser).

pip install http://gevent.googlecode.com/files/gevent-1.0b4.tar.gz

would work. But as it says on the project home page on Google Code, gevent now lives on github.

So it’s

pip install https://github.com/downloads/SiteSupport/gevent/gevent-1.0b4.tar.gz
