Answer 1

How can I pass the libevent option to setup.py using pip?

c:\pip install --help
(...)
--global-option=GLOBAL_OPTIONS
                      Extra global options to be supplied to the
                      setup.pycall before the install command

See How can I set log level used by distutils when using pip?

Answer 2

Get a binary installer from http://code.google.com/p/gevent/downloads/list

Answer 3

If you're using 64bit Windows, download here, otherwise installation would fail.

Answer 4

Latest version has pre-compilled wheel:

pip install gevent==1.1rc1

Answer 5

pip works for me on Windows 7 with 32-bit Python 2.7. You will need to install a C compiler and add a disutils.cfg file to \Lib\disutils under your Python install directory. I have Ming installed and my disutils.cfg looks like this:

[build]
compiler=mingw32

Answer 6

Download the precompiled packages here:

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/greenlet
• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gevent

This worked for me, python 2.7 32 bit build.
