Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/95/rr3dwmb55fb6g_fy4d_449240000gn/T/pip-build-6jcdnd_p/sinaweibopy/

This issue arises because this SDK is not compatible with Python3. To fix this issue, you need to run the following instead

1
sudo python2 -m pip install sinaweibopy

Common Erros

  1. Encoding Error:
1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe5' in file kNN.py on line 24, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

Solution: Adding the following line at the start of the python program

1
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
