Add kerberos from pypi to Anaconda under Windows

Question

Complete noob so would appreciate a step-by-step solution.

I would like to add kerberos package to Anaconda but don't know how to do it.

I have tried the using conda command line: pip install kerberos but it failed.

Does anyone know how to go about it?

This is the error log from pip:

Anaconda comes with the kerberos_sspi which is "API level equivalent to the kerberos python package but instead of using the MIT krb5 package it uses the windows sspi functionality".

If you have an older version of Anaconda that does not have kerberos_sspi installed, you can install it via conda install -c anaconda kerberos_sspi
