Context: Windows 7, spyder with python 3.6 and anaconda.

Can't find textfsm on anaconda.org.

Can find textfsm in pypi - https://pypi.org/project/textfsm/#files

Can download textfsm-0.4.1.tar.gz and extract to textfsm-0.4.1

Do I put it in C:...\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages?

What next?

Proceed to unpacked folder and run 

python setup.py

Usually it is all what you need in this case. It should does all necessary things by itself if you have already installed all dependencies.

You should also consider to use pip for package manipulation. In 3.6 it is ready from box. But if it is not, just refer to https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing/ and follow instructions.

  • ok. I ran 'pip install textfsm' inside an anaconda prompt. This seemed to create a folder - textfsm-0.4.1.dist-info inside Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages and created/uploaded some files - texttable.py,textfsm.py,terminal.py,copyable_regex_object.py,clitable.py in Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages - prompt said errors on twisted 17.5.0 has requirement automat 0.3.0 but I have 0.0.0 which is incompatible. Still, it installed testfsm 0.4.1 - got help from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41060382/using-pip-to-install-packages-to-anaconda-environment - – JoePythonKing Jan 15 '19 at 13:40
  • I must have misunderstood the Spyder intro panel which says 'It seems that you are using Spyder with Anaconda/ Miniconda. Please don't use pip to update it as that will probably break your installation.' That seems pip for spyder and not the other packages installed with pip. – JoePythonKing Jan 17 '19 at 12:45
