Rhino Inside Python 2.7 Install Problems

Rhino.Inside
1

Hi i’m having trouble installing the rhinoinside module with pip in Python 2.7 (and also in 3.6). The install fails with the below error code. Its seams to fail with an install option –single-version-externally-managed not recognized. Any ideas what might be going wrong? Python 3.6 gives me a similar error.

I have:

  • Python 2.7.16
  • Updated pip
  • Rhino 7 WIP 7.0.1290

As a workaround a manual install of the CPython repository downloaded from github does seem to work. just copy the CPython folder to your desktop and run setup.py:

python setup.py install

So the problems seams to be with the pip installer.
