First, I have never had any trouble installing this module until this last time. I've installed it before on previous versions of Python with no trouble – Windows or Linux.
The error starts with this:
Building wheels for collected packages: netifaces
Building wheel for netifaces (setup.py) ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
× python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> [5 lines of output]
running bdist_wheel
running build
running build_ext
building 'netifaces' extension
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater
...
I know this has to do with the Python build tools but I don't understand what workaround I may have. Here's how the pip install failure ended:
building 'netifaces' extension
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: legacy-install-failure
× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> netifaces
Any suggestions for a workaround would be appreciated. I would really like to have some of these scripts run from my workstation and not always have to send them over to our Linux VM.
