How to install SASL with Python 3.8?

Question

I am trying to install sasl3-0.2.11 python package on a windows 10 machine (64 bit). It is failing with a C1083 fatal error.

Due to some proxies and me not being able to avoid them, I am installing it by downloading the tar.gz from pypi, logging into the uncompressed folder and doing python setup.py install.

This solution worked for all modules but sasl.

I have then read this useful comment but the .whl from Cyrus Sasl did not work too. They suppot until 3.7 python, not 3.8.

I am really wondering how can I bypass this issue or could I avoid sasl for being able to use Pyhive.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You just need to install the following packages on Ubuntu:

apt-get install libsasl2-dev libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit

This directly solved the issue for me. I didn't need to run any other commands besides the above and pip install sasl – Chairman

Answer 2

Finally, I just uninstalled Python 3.8 and install the 3.7. Then, I was able to install Sasl via the wheel file here
