Greetings To Python-list,
I'm trying to install Python package:
mitmproxy (https://mitmproxy.org/)
on Windows XP SP3.
I'm a complete Python newbie. Not planning to do any Python programming
at this time. Just trying to get package mitmproxy working (or at least
the mitmdump component, since "There is no interactive user interface on
Windows." per:
http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/install.html
* * *
* * *
I have installed Python that announces itself on the Python command line
as:
Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:32:19) [MSC
v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
* * *
* * *
I'm using the following command in a Win XP cmd.exe shell (not the
Python shell) to install mitmproxy:
pip install mitmproxy
The first install attempt failed, ending with some diagnostics displayed
in the Win XP cmd.exe shell window:
C:\Documents and Settings\SteveP>pip install mitmproxy

You are using pip version 7.1.2, however version 8.0.0 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip
install --upgrade pip' command.

I tried again to install mitmproxy, and the installation got a little
further, but failed again on a similar error, on a different file
(watchdog-0.8.3.tar.gz instead of pyperclip-1.5.26.zip):

In both failure cases, it looks to me like there is a bug in the pip
logic, that is using a *nix forward slash "/" instead of a double
backslash "\\" before the file name "make.bat".
The upgrade to pip-8.0.0 fixed the first occurrence of the problem, but
not the second occurrence.
I note the warning lines displayed at the start of the second install
attempt:
C:\Documents and Settings\SteveP>pip install mitmproxy
e:\a p p s\python27\lib\site-packages\pip\pep425tags.py:89:
RuntimeWarning: Config variable 'Py_DEBUG' is unset, Python ABI tag may

RuntimeWarning: Config variable 'Py_UNICODE_SIZE' is unset, Python ABI
tag may be incorrect
sys.version_info < (3, 3))) \
and wonder if they are relevant to the failure.
