Fails to install on windows.

[mohd-taba]

The installation via pip fails on windows; it fails to install both the wheel and via setup.py. It returns the following error.
ValueError: path '/home/runner/work/smaz-py3/smaz-py3/smazmodule.c' cannot be absolute
pip is updated to the latest version (pip 21.2.4).

Thanks for reporting. That's true, I've never tested this under Windows.

Please, could you provide me with the full traceback?

I'll try to see what it takes to make it run under windows.

Hey @mohd-taba
I just released a new version of smaz-py3 (1.1.0). Can you try again if it works now?

Yes. It does work.
Importing and basic usage seems to have no issues as well.
Thanks.

@mohd-taba glad to hear! happy coding!

I've run into the same error trying to install smaz-py3 version 1.1.2 on Windows.

I was also able to reproduce the bug in a GitHub actions build:

• Python version: 3.11
• smaz-py3 version: 1.1.2

I tried installing it again on Windows from source rather than using an install via pip with pypi, and it worked without issue. (CI builds are also still failing)

[originell]

thank you for reporting. that must be a build failure on my side here then. I'll look into this. Happy though building from source worked for you.

[originell]

@ExcaliburZero I've just released v1.1.3 on pypi. Could you try if that fixes it for you?

Yep I tried installing v1.1.3 using pip both on Command Prompt and also on a Windows GitHub Actions build and both worked.

Thanks!

Happy to help!
