Azure-sdk-for-python: Can't install azure-eventhub error

[msftkevin]

I'm attempting to install the azure-eventhub using 'pip install --pre azure-eventhub' and I get the following error when attempting to install.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (project):
  Generator

    Visual Studio 15 2017

  could not find any instance of Visual Studio.

...and no... I don't want to install Visual Studio.

[gurkang]

I'm having the same issue. But I have VS19 professional installed. Even tried install CMake and setting it in the PATH but still I'm not able to install azure-eventhub.

[msftkevin]

I didn't install Visual Studio but I did install the VS 2017 Build Tools. And I do have CMake installed and in the path. Still it won't install...

Thanks @msftkevin, @gurkang,
This error I believe is coming from a dependency library uamqp.
It looks like pip is attempting to build the library from source on install - hence why it is looking for a compiler like VS. I think this should only happen if pip was installing onto a platform that was not supported with a wheel, or pip was configured to always build from source.

These are the wheels for uamqp here:
https://pypi.org/project/uamqp/#files
If you download the wheel for your environment directly, and attempt to install does it still give you an error? (Just trying to narrow down potential causes).

[msftkevin]

I initially attempted to install the package (azure-eventhub) without the --pre option. Could that be the issue?

[annatisch]

Thanks @msftkevin - I don't think so, as I think they depend on the same version of uamqp.
However uamqp does not yet have a pre-built wheel for Python 3.8 - can I confirm whether you're using Python 3.8?

[gurkang]

@annatisch
I'm using Python 3.8.0 when trying to install azure-eventhub.

Hello @gurkang and @msftkevin ,

we released uamqp 1.2.4 which contains pre-built python3.8 wheels, please have a try.

Thanks @gurkang - could you try downloading and installing the 32bit Windows wheel for uamqp directly in a clean virtual environment? This will help us determine if there's an issue with the package itself, or whether something else is going wrong.
https://pypi.org/project/uamqp/#files

[yunhaoling]

Hi @gurkang,

can you try manually running the command pip install uamqp to get the latest uamqp library installed from pypi?

[yunhaoling]

The problem should be fixed as pre-built uamqp wheel for python3.8 platforms are released.
@gurkang Feel free to re-open it if not.
