Hi

I'm working on a small project to look at Strava stats - using stravalib, which is the Strava-approved Python library for working with their API. All works fine on my home pc.

However, when i try to install it via a bash console on PythonAnywhere, I get this error - any idea what the problem is?

Thanks

Just worked this out - I need to specify Python3.6 - I resolved this by creating a virtual environment specifying Python3.6, then installed stravalib in that venv.

Glad you worked out a solution! There's a bit more detail explaining options for installing stuff on this help page
