I am trying to set up a python enviorenment on a computer running Windows 8.1. I have installed Python 3.4 successfully, but when I try to install numpy with pip I run in to the following error:

raise ValueError<str<list<result.keys<>>>>
ValueError: ['path']

In looking around for similar problems I have found and tried this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10558328/2362877 Taking in to account that I have Visual Studio 2010 installed.

I have also tried running vcvarsal.bat to no avail.

I would appreciate any assistance with this issue, and if more information is required just let me know.

For Windows, it is easier to download the binary installer for numpy; especially if you have installed Python from the official .msi installer.

  • Excellent! I was only using pip because it was the most effective solution I had found when I was using a Mac. But the binaries are working like a charm. Thanks. – LeoAnth Apr 16 '14 at 06:35
  • I don't see why not. You can download the wheel installer from the page. – Burhan Khalid Mar 19 '15 at 10:30
  • Yeah, i got the binary package of NumPy and using wheel i installed that. But, i am pretty much messed up in installing Scrapy. I am using windows 8.1 with python of version 3.3.3. I have Microsoft visual studio installed as well. And, i even tried to set the environment variable after installing Windows SDK(as i went through several other posts and most of them suggested for this solution). I kind of tried a lot of things but all in vain. Please, suggest me what to do. @BurhanKhalid – Nazaf Anwar Mar 19 '15 at 12:45
  • The links to Gohlke's site for the numpy wheels and other downloads are no long working. – Pouya Barrach-Yousefi Aug 11 '15 at 08:04
