Installation fails on Windows: Pip and setuptools fail to install

[Lolmewn]

I tried installing Sevabot via the tutorial, which gave me the following output:

I've tried to install Setuptools and pip seperately which seemed to go just fine - however, it seems sevabot doesn't use those.
Using Windows 2012 Server R2 64 bit, Python 2.7 32 bit (x86), and also did it in Powershell x86 just to be sure. Suggestions?

Try Windows virtualenv installation instructions from official source.
Maybe something has changed.

Tried the official installation instructions - exact same output. Guess the issue is not sevabot but venv. I contacted the dev of venv but he can't test much as he has no windows available (apparently). Idea's?

I had the same issue, in the same environment, but the solution to work for me works like this:

1. Perform the "Solution" step from here: ImportError: No module named setuptools (add details to docs) pypa/pip#1064
2. As per http://sevabot-skype-bot.readthedocs.org/en/latest/windows.html

• git clone git://github.com/opensourcehacker/sevabot.git
• cd sevabot
• powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "add-content -path virtualenv.py -value(new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py')"
• python virtualenv.py venv --no-setuptools
• set-executionpolicy unrestricted
• python setup.py develop
• .\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1
• Download ez_setup.py and run it in the same PowerShell window - download the file into the sevabot folder and then just run python ez_setup.py
• Once finished, run python setup.py develop again and then continue in the setup guide

Then it should work. Hope it fixes the issue for you.

Also just FYI: when running the sevabot on Windows, you are likely to run into this issue: #58

[Lolmewn]

Awesome, it's actually running now! Getting errors on !ping, but I guess that's discussed in #58.
