pip install fails on Python 3.8/Windoes

[AndrewUshakov]

Please, add support to Python 3.8/Windows 64 bit. Situation is exactly the same as in issue #118.

@AndrewUshakov, thanks for reporting this one, however, will be unable to fix it until conda publishes 3.8 packages officially. In the meantime, please try the building instructions at https://github.com/spyder-ide/pywinpty#building-from-source, this requires you to compile and install winpty binaries and MSYS2/MinGW compilers.

@andfoy, thank you. I created this issue only because I discovered it during installation of jupyter package with pip. That is, problem can influence on many people. Also, working whl can be found here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pywinpty so I do not understand, why did you mention conda?

[andfoy]

Our build system depends on conda-forge, do we depend on it

i had the same problem on python 3.8.

Hello,

As seen on the https://anaconda.org/anaconda/python, Anaconda Python 3.8 is available.

Do you have an option to install pywinpty gracefully? The jupyter notebook install depends on it.

Many thanks for your help.

Best

@mlabarrere I had a problem with installing jupyter for python 3.8. Then I have installed pywinpty from here and solved.
