How to install igraph for python on windows

Question

I tried installing Igraph for python, but to no avail I followed the procedure specified at http://igraph.org/python/doc/tutorial/install.html

I even tried the Pycairo procedure listed at the end of the site

But igraph doesn't work on Enthought Canopy or Anaconda

Please, help

Try using the precompiled binary here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-igraph

Choose the correct version, use pip and enter:

python -m pip install path/to/igraph.whl

Do not change the name of the wheel. Make sure you have the eyedropper, wheel and setuptools installed.
