Question

I am using 32 bit cmd, 64 bit windows, python 2.7

when I type the command pip install statsmodels

I get the following error for some module of scipy...

Failed building wheel for Scipy Failed cleaning build dir for scipy

Answer 1

I have tried to write this on cmd.exe and it worked.

pip install statsmodels==0.6.0

install statsmodels for python 2.7 in windows

Answer 2

An easier way to install python libraries on Windows with C/C++/Fortran/... dependencies is to use conda. conda is available in MiniConda or Anaconda continuum products.

Another easy way to install scientific python libraries on windows is to use Christoph Gohlke's windows web page.

If you have no much idea about all of them and how to manage dependencies on windows I recommend you uninstalling your Python and installing anaconda. Anaconda already has Numpy, Scipy, Matplotlib,..., and statsmodels pre-installed (see the list of the packages included in the anaconda distribution).

Answer 3

install numpy

pip install numpy

If you face installation issues for numpy, get the pre-built windows installers from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ for your python version (python version is different from windows version).

numpy 32-bit: numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

numpy 64-bit: numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

Later you require VC++ 9.0, then please get it from below link Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27

Then install

Get the pre-built windows installers from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ for your python version (python version is different from windows version).

Scipy 32-bit: scipy-0.18.0-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

Scipy 64-bit: scipy-0.18.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

If it fails saying whl is not supported wheel on this platform , then upgrade pip using python -m pip install --upgrade pip and try installing scipy

Now try

pip install scipy

Then try

pip install statsmodels

It should work like a charm
