Fails installation via pip

[dhmspector]

Was trying to install the API in my virtual env, and got the following failure, other packages install and work just fine. Any suggestions?

(datamanager) Zeitgeist:datamanager spector$ pip install sodapy
Collecting sodapy

You might be using python3? In this case. Here are the instructions for building this project from source:

Setup and activate your python3 virtualenv

virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python3 venv_py3
source venv_py3/bin/activate

Install future.

pip3 install future

Clone the repo, checkout the python3 branch, and build the source.

git clone git@github.com:xmunoz/sodapy.git
cd sodapy/
git checkout python3
python3 setup.py install
python3 setup.py install

That last line is not a typo. For some reason you need to install twice, it dies the first time on requests, and succeeds the second time. I don't know why...

Once it's finished, the binaries should be moved into the correct location (in your virtualenv), so you can clean up the source.

cd ..
rm -rf sodapy/

I've been meaning to write this all down for a minute. Thanks for giving me a good reason.

Did this solve your problem @dhmspector?
