How to install gevent on Windows?

Question

I'm trying to install gevent on Windows. In order to do that, I've downloaded and compiled libevent, then I run pip install gevent and get an error: Please provide path to libevent source with --libevent DIR. How can I pass the libevent option to setup.py using pip?

Thanks in advance, Ivan.

UPD: running pip install gevent --install-option="--libevent path_to_libevent" gives the same result.

No precompiled packages are available for `gevent 1.0.1`. =/ – anatoly techtonik Mar 05 '15 at 08:45

Get a binary installer from http://code.google.com/p/gevent/downloads/list

I need to install gevent to a separate Python environment, and it looks like the binary installer doesn't support it. – Ivan Gromov Feb 29 '12 at 13:40
You can try to get the egg http://gevent.googlecode.com/files/gevent-1.0b1-py2.7-win32.egg which is a zip file that contains 'gevent' package. – Denis Feb 29 '12 at 14:15

@IvanGromov You **can** install package into virtualenv using binary installer. See [Can I install Python windows packages into virtualenvs?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/3271590/95735) – Piotr Dobrogost May 12 '12 at 10:02
Current gevent.org official downloads are listed at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gevent#downloads – rakslice Nov 10 '13 at 02:53

If you're using 64bit Windows, download here, otherwise installation would fail.

pip works for me on Windows 7 with 32-bit Python 2.7. You will need to install a C compiler and add a disutils.cfg file to \Lib\disutils under your Python install directory. I have Ming installed and my disutils.cfg looks like this:

[build]
compiler=mingw32
