I have downloaded Microsoft Visual C++, using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OsGXuNA5cc after tonnes of searching around for which GB-worth of componenents I needed (and installing all and uninstalling again), So I have VS studio code and wrote a first C++ "hello world" exe file which worked to test it .

But I still getting errors on my attempted install of twisted, which is needed for Scrapy, so I can complete code with Python with seliniums (I have successfully got this) +mozzillaFireFox webdriver (I have successfully got this) for web scraping on angular tables, websites and other dynamic websites.

After 

 py -m pip install twisted

in PowerShell, and CMD, ... everythings ok up to this point and i'm still getting this error : (but as I said I have gone and got that, VS Studio Code C++).

   error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
----------------------------------------
 ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: 'C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe' -u -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'C:\\Users\\User\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-s00u5yjl\\Twisted\\setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'C:\\Users\\User\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-s00u5yjl\\Twisted\\setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' install --record 'C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-record-k06brtpu\install-record.txt' --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers 'C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Include\Twisted' Check the logs for full command output.

Its all about installing scrappy which gets stuck on twisted. any help would be really appreciated.

Shutting down my PC & going for a break / fresh air . And im hoping for some help or advice when I come back.

  • I don't know if it was just the downloading of of the link (C++) OR coupled of hours later downloading the latest version of twisted wheel file - and running it - but youve solved a weekend of headaches. . I have successfullly downloaded scrapy-2.0.1 . Genius @AMD thank you. – David Wooley - AST Mar 29 '20 at 06:13
