I am using an old Mac Mini without internet connection, with OS X 10.3.7 and Python 2.7.7, and cannot install timeloop with "python setup.py install".

Should timeloop principally work on this system?

Is there maybe any other way to get it work on this rather old machine?

Please don't recommend me to use a newer system: It's a project and I need to use this computer.

I would appreciate your help very much.

what I get is this: Do you see any error message which could help?

    Can you give us more information about what's happening? What error do you get when you try and install timeloop? What version of timeloop do you have the setup for? – Elenchus Jul 25 '20 at 19:51
  • Thank you @Elenchus, I have tried timeloop version 1.0.2 and 1.0. I actually don't see a 'real' error message. What I get is this: see above (the text was too long for the comment line) – benjamin Jul 27 '20 at 06:57
  • I'm not familiar with installing packages this way; is the problem that all the dependencies are installed, but timeloop itself is not? You could try using pip instead https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2087148/can-i-use-pip-instead-of-easy-install-for-python-setup-py-install-dependen – Elenchus Jul 27 '20 at 13:17
  • I am having difficulties installing pip on this system as well. As still relatively new to Python I am not sure what the dependencies are for the timeloop module. Wouldn't have that given a real error message, if there was something missing? – benjamin Jul 28 '20 at 09:10
