Hello all,

I want to install the holidays library in Pythonista through StaSh but I got this error halfway through installation:

I tried using selfupdate -f dev to see if that works but it doesn't. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks in advance.

My Atempt:

Im thinking PyMeeus-0.3.7 (dependency to Holidays) is not a pure python module mainly because the tar file has 82items and that says header files to me lol but could just be doc files lol

https://github.com/architest/pymeeus looks 100% Python. Click on the blue bar just under the number of commits.

@TechieWeirdo, suggest downloading the zip, then extracting and moving the pymeeus folder as-is to site-packages.
