Re: [Tauruslib-users] install through pip

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi,

Wow! 

thanks a lot for the hint. This has been a known bug since 2 years ago
( https://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/tickets/194/ )  and we thought the 
only way to fix it was to move from distutils to setuptools (that's why 
it wasn't yet fixed).

I just tested with "pip install taurus --egg" and it worked perfectly 
for me.

Thanks!

Carlos

from, probably someone more clever than me can explain. In any case, 
after a bit of searching online I found a recommendation to add the '--
egg' option to pip. That worked very well:
