Missing dependency: Problems installing

[JoeSgambellone]

Hi. I tried installing your SPC package and ran into issues. First, it failed because I didn't have ez_setup, so I installed it (it's missing from your dependency list).

Next, I'm getting this error:

py -m pip install spc
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

I updated setuptools, but that didn't seem to help. Thank you for writing this package and I hope to get it going soon. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your detailed description and apologies for my late reply. I suggest you look at this repo instead: https://github.com/hviidhenrik/pySPC - it is more updated. I no longer maintain the first one, as it was a project I used mainly for my PhD. I hope you make it work, and thanks for your interest in SPC!
