Problems with pip install django-socketio
django, pip, python, socket.io
Solution
I tried to install it using pip but I was unsuccessful.
What you can do is: 1) download the Source Code from GitHub to where you want the files to be
git clone https://github.com/stephenmcd/django-socketio
2) unzip it and go inside the django-socketio directory 3) run:
python3 setup.py install
you can check if it has installed by running the command:
pip3 freeze
hope this helps!
Problem
pip3 install -U django-socketio outputs the following errors python version on this environment is 3.4.3. The same thing appears when I try to install django channels on python 3.5 or higher ``` Collecting django-socketio Downloading django-socketio-0.3.9.tar.gz (48kB) 100% |████████████████████████████████| 51kB 204kB/s Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/tmp/pip-build-j3y67yvi/django-socketio/setup.py", line 7, in <module> version = __import__("django_socketio").__version__, File "/tmp/pip-build-j3y67yvi/django-socketio/django_socketio/__init__.py", line 2, in <module> from django_socketio.utils import NoSocket, send, broadcast, broadcast_channel File "/tmp/pip-build-j3y67yvi/django-socketio/django_socketio/utils.py", line 44 except IndexError, KeyError: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ---------------------------------------- Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-j3y67yvi/django-socketio/ ```
