Problem to install PyTIFF - Windows 10 64bits - Anaconda 2.1.2 - PyThon 3

Python Help

I try to install PyTiff since Anaconda’s CMD prompt, in console in Spyder 5 and Jupyter’s Notebook but the error is the same, and I search in internet for solutions but in some cases mention install Cython (I did this), between others ideas but nothing work and problem persists: ERROR >>

I download installed files but the problem is the same.

How do I to resolve this issue? please
Thanks by any help!

Easy solution: This site provides a pre-built PyTIFF pytiff‑0.8.1‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl file. If you download it you can run pip install pytiff‑0.8.1‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl.

(pip install pytiff also tries to download a pre-built file, but only from pytiff · PyPI and there are none for Python 3.8. So it tries the difficult solution.)

Difficult solution: Build from source. This requires all the tools and sources. You are missing some: Cannot open include file: ‘tiffio.h’. On Linux there are standard ways to install such files. Not on Windows. This missing file probably belongs to the C library libtiff that PyTIFF is using, and you can probably get libtiff from http://www.libtiff.org/. (Or you can probably use vcpkg - Open source C/C++ dependency manager from Microsoft to get this and many other C libraries.)

Alternative (also easy) solution: Don’t use PyTIFF, use tifffile: pip install tifffile. This doesn’t require a C library, it’s a pure Python library. I would recommend this if you don’t have a specific reason to use PyTIFF instead.
