[FIXED] How to install uwsgi on windows?

Issue

I'm trying to install uwsgi for a django project inside a virtual environment; I'm using windows 10.

I did pip install uwsgi & I gotCommand "python setup.py egg_info".

So to resolve the error I followed this SO answer

As per the answer I installed cygwin and gcc compiler for windows following this.

Also changed the os.uname() to platform.uname()

And now when I run `python setup.py install``. I get this error

Solution

Step 1: Download this stable release of uWSGI

Step 2: Extract the tar file inside the site-packages folder of the virtual environment.

For example the extracted path to uwsgi should be:

\my_env\lib\site-packages\uwsgi-2.0.19.1

Step 3: Open uwsgi-2.0.19.1\uwsgiconfig.py And do the following edits:

import platform
...

Then wherever you encounter

...
os.uname()[x-index]
...

modify it with

...
platform.uname()[x-index]
...

Step 4: Finally, Open powershell and cd into \my_env\lib\site-packages\uwsgi-2.0.19.1 and run:

python setup.py

Step 5: Run pip install uwsgi you'll get Requirement already satisfied:. Try pip freeze you'll see uwsgi is listed. Which means you have now successfully installed uwsgi. Congrats!
