pip installing Flask-Ask raises ModuleNotFound pip.req

Question

When I try to install Flask-Ask, I get the following error. How do I fix it?

$ pip install flask-ask

Your problem has been fixed but that version was never released to PyPi.

You can try to install from github directly:

pip install https://github.com/johnwheeler/flask-ask/archive/master.zip

This package requires python headers. Don't forget to: "apt-get install python3-dev" – rodvlopes Jul 16 '20 at 17:44
Not working on Windows 10, python 3.8. I don't understand why it requires Visual Studio, I'm running from cmd and using IntelliJ. Running setup.py install for cffi ... error Creating library build\temp.win32-3.8\Release\c\_cffi_backend.cp38-win32.lib and object build\temp.win32-3.8\Release\c\_cffi_backend.cp38-win32.exp Generating code Finished generating code LINK : fatal error LNK1158: cannot run 'rc.exe' error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC\\BIN\\link.exe' failed with exit status 1158 – Claudiu May 06 '21 at 11:06
@Claudiu If you have another problem, please open a new question! – Klaus D. May 06 '21 at 11:17
Sorry Klaus, usually when I try this, got closed with the reason that is duplicate. I tried to fall back to pip 9, update to pip 20, now I'll try to run it under linux! If it won't work i'll open. Thanks. – Claudiu May 07 '21 at 12:59

...And, is your problem with pythonhosted.org and you are confusing it with github.com/johnwheeler/ solution? – Raja May 08 '21 at 02:59
