Installation
pygypsy is available in the following package repositories
PyPI
pip install pygypsy
conda-forge
conda config --add channels conda-forge conda install pygypsy
Conda is the recommended environment for using gypsy on windows. Installation from PyPI currently requires compilation of cython extensions and C code; on Linux and OSX this is rarely problematic.
It is recommended to install in a virtualenv or conda env to avoid clobbering system or other projects’ python pacakges.
