The 'appdirs==1.2.0' distribution was not found and is required by iepy

[ramonrod]

Hi Folks,

I would like to try iepy for some relation extraction tasks. I'm having problems installing iepy. I have installed appdirs==1.4.3, I also tried to install appdirs==1.2.0 from the source, but the system still installs version 1.4.3.

I managed to installed iep in my pc, but every time I run iepy I get the error message:
_pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The appdirs==1.2.0 distribution was not found and is required by iepy

Is there a solution for this at the moment, it seems iepy doesn't work with the latest version of appdirs, but I cannot get the older version installed on my computer.

My environment:
Win7 64bit
Python 3.6

Thanks for any help,
Ramon

Hi

I just checked that appdirs 1.2.0 seems to be available: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/appdirs/1.2.0
Can you create a virtualenv and run in a terminal this:
pip install appdirs==1.2.0

I just did and installed correctly

Now I am getting some other curious error when I run iepy. I am runig the command with administrator rights. What am I doing wrong here?
