uwsgi installation error in windows 7

Question

Trying to install uwsgi according to documentation. I'm getting the below error on Windows 7.

What should I do?

(uwsgi-tutorial) C:\Users\Home\Videos\uwsgi-tutorial\mysite>pip install uwsgi
Collecting uwsgi
Using cached uwsgi-2.0.11.1.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    import uwsgiconfig as uc
  File "uwsgiconfig.py", line 8, in <module>
    uwsgi_os = os.uname()[0]

Answer 1

uWSGI can be compiled on Windows only using cygwin. There is no such thing as uname in normal Windows console, but it exists inside cygwin. If you're already in cygwin console, try to run uname command, if that exists, check if os.uname() in python inside cygwin is also working.

Latest news from the front, uWSGI perfectly works on Windows 10 in bash on Ubuntu on Windows

As Linux subsystem still in beta, i'd not recommend for production usage, however this will cover all dev needs.

P.S. i know that op ask about Windows 7, however as Windows 10 and Linux subsystem come to Windows world later, i think i can leave this here.
