Re: New machine, install problems

Glen,

the major version at pypi lacks 3.5 support as 3.5 arrived well after it was 
released. However, you can get the latest micro builds by visiting

https://www.reportlab.com/pypi

or by using the -ihttps://www.reportlab.com/pypi option with pip.

You will need a user id and login which can be obtained here

http://www.reportlab.com/accounts/register/

If you are already using this route can you say what file was actually down loaded.

looks like this is a source version and pip is trying to build the extension, 
but that fails if you lack the compiler infrastructure etc etc.
