Pip install failing: syntax error

[kcappieg]

I have python 3.6.2 (64-bit) and pip 9.0.1

Whenever I run

pip install route53-transfer

I get the error:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in [AppData PATH]\pip-build-9jlz3n0x\boto\

The syntax error above seems to be pointing to a file named config.py, and the line:

print s.getValue()

I've tried everything I could find online to fix pip, but I get the feeling the problem is with this package on a newer version of Python. I'm pretty new to Python, though, so there's only so far I can trouble shoot before it's more worth it for me to just add the DNS records manually!

Thanks.

I think that route53-transfer is outdated in pip, I recommend you trying to install it using the following command, to get directly from master:

pip install https://github.com/RisingOak/route53-transfer/archive/master.zip

Thanks, but this gave me another error.

route53_transfer\__init__.py, line 3
  from app import load, dump
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'app'

I checked the codebase and saw that 'app.py' is in that directory, so I don't know why I would get this error. (Again, don't know much about python.) Unfortunately I have to load the records manually.

Hope the install gets fixed eventually! (And thanks for responding so quick.)

1. git clone https://github.com/cosmin/route53-transfer.git
2. pip install ./route53-transfer

ImportError: No module named boto

so in my case:

3. pip install boto

You may wish to add the dependencies needed so your pip install goes more smoothly..
Anyway, it installed successfully for me after that and works fine so far.

side question:
Also noticed on a 'dump', any asterisk wildcards (*) are outputted as escape sequence. ("\052")
So, if you load the CSV under Excel for example, you would see something like:
\052.example.com. instead of *.example.com.
Not sure if this was done to allow importing/restoring easier?

Use pip2 if you have pip3 installed.
