Unable to install occmodel with PIP

I'm trying to install occmodel with pip install occmodel and get the following error message:

Downloading/unpacking occmodel

  Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip-build-niH2pa/occmodel/setup.py) egg_info for package occmodel

It seems that the tarball downloaded from PyPI doesn't contain setup.py file, it's named setup_build.py instead. Have you ever checked whether the library can be installed from PyPI?

[tenko]

Yes, It is wrongly called 'setup_build.py'.

It needs to compile and link against OpenCascade/OCE and system libraries, so it only a 'source' distribution anyway, and can not be installed directly. Most likely it needs tweaking to get build depending on the platform and where the libraries are installed.

In the fork : https://github.com/colonelzentor/occmodel, there is an effort to improve the build process which you might look at (not tested)
