Can't install via pip on Windows about xled HOT 6 CLOSED

After further investigation, arpreq apparently isn't supported under Windows, so any way you can use some other method to get the host up-state before trying to connect?

from xled.

Arpreq is used only with discovery. you can completely skip discovery by using --hostname:

$ xled --hostname 192.168.1.4 on

from xled.

xled will no longer install via pip due to the issue with arpreq. Do I then install it via some other method?

from xled.

I'm not really using Windows but I guess you could git clone/download sources, manually remove arpreq from setup.py and run python setup.py install.

from xled.

I have tried to do so - remove arpreq dependency on Windows and it turned out discovery imported all over the place so the change won't be so easy.

I have thought about this and I'm afraid I can only support Linux as that's where I develop and run this project. I'm sorry but unless somebody will be able to support Windows platform I won't support it.

Hi @samstreak ,

As scrool mentioned, you need to clone the project, then you should just modify 2 things:

1. in setup.py under requirements change "arpreq" to "getmac"
2. in discover.py replace 'from arpreq import arpreq' with 'from getmac import get_mac_address' and 'hw_address = arpreq(ip_address)' with 'hw_address = get_mac_address(ip_address)'

Then install the project from you local clone.
cd your-local-repo
pip install -e .

I hope it helps
