pip - HspellPy installation

Question

I am trying to install HspellPy package (using google colab) : pip install HspellPy (https://pypi.org/project/HspellPy/) I get :

I looked up some fixes to "ERROR: Failed building wheel for HspellPy" but onthing helped, and since that package is not widely used i can't find anything helpful

Thank you

Answer 1

For me the main part of the error is "fatal error: hspell.h: No such file or directory" which means that Hspell is not installed (HspellPy is just a Python wrapper for Hspell which is written in C). Install Hspell; on Debian/Ubuntu try

sudo apt install -y hspell

Or compile from sources.

Then retry pip install HspellPy
