I run into the following error attempting to install spacy-readability 1.4.1. I already have spacy 3.0.6 installed

As indicated at Stackoverflow, it seems likely this is due to an issue with your build tools. You can find instructions on how to update your build requirements here. To copy those instructions for convenience:

---

Download visual studio build tools and install

1. Visual C++ Build tools core features.
2. VC++ 2017 v141 toolset (x86,x64)
3. Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable Update
4. Windows 10 SDK (10.0.16299.0) for Desktop C++

---

If that doesn't work, let us know.

Actually, looking at this a bit more, while you might have the issue with dev tools, there are other issues - spacy-readability hasn't been updated since 2019, so it doesn't support spaCy 3. Also, since we don't maintain it, I'd normally suggest you open an issue there, but there haven't been any updates in issues in roughly a year either.

Thx. I had tried the build tools update approach but did not include the Windows 10 sdk so I can try that.

But on the readability more generally, hadnt realized it wasnt one of yours I see now it is an independent contributor. Seems like a nice thing to have in the core product. Cheers
