I'm trying to install some Python 2.7 module named libwapiti on Windows 7. While trying to install it, it asked me for several header (*.h) files which were not included in MSVC2008ForPython27 and I'm trying to fix it.

Right know it asked for a file named: sys/time.h I copy-pasted the code inside a text file but when I try to rename it to what mentioned above, Windows says you can't create a filename with /\?*<>| and so on. What can I do?!

It seems that the system asks for a file named time.h in the folder named sys, isn't it?

You also may try to create a notepad++ file with your coding. This would be a proper place for the coding document, rather than a text file.

Microsoft support says

To create, save, or rename a file, folder, or shortcut, use a valid character that is not listed in the first error message listed in the Symptoms section of this article.

  • No, the file exactly named sys/time.h. It exists. I saw some developers published its code for free use and I just copy-pasted one. That libwapiti module with all of its headers work normally on linux but here I need to get it running on Windows which does not let me to create it inside the proper directory due to its (silly!) name.

    Really I don't think that Windows will let you to put such name.

  • The file cannot be exactly named sys/time.h. Neither Windows, Linux, Mac, or Python will allow you to use the character / in a file name.
