Python EGG_INFO and PACMAN really hurt
Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2019 7:29 pm
Hello,
I had to re-install everything on a new PC for esp-idf, to continue my project.
I bumped into the same OLD problem with python, egg, pacman mickey mouse donald and santa clause.
Last time I had it it was few months ago when I pulled a new esp-idf release, and after few HOURS of googling for other poor people
I found on suggested solution that worked.
This time I spent 3 days trying all solutions on internet and nothing worked.
I installed everything 3 or 4 times folowing the "Getting started guide", I did all the steps to install all from scratch
I copied my old msys32 / esp-idf folders from backup... nothing worked.
Either pythons eggs and infos fail, or pacman is dead or what ever stupid reason. Is this fixed, or should I abandon esp32?
I am not a python expert, I am not a msys expert and I dont wish to become one. I write C code, and I prefer to stay at this.
let me know if I should wait for a fix, or go to another product, that at least doesnt fail to install its own tools.
Very dissapointed
Alex.
P.S. don't imagine a strange machine, with hacks on it. Its a simple Win7 - 64bit computer, on which any other software works. I develop VHDL projects, C code on atmel ARM and its all working fine, so its not a "bad computer".
