ERROR: Failed building wheel for tinyobjloader - Trying to install Python bindings failed!

[Cocco17]

Describe the issue
I just tried to install the python bindings using PyPi with the command "pip install tinyobjloader". However, there seems to be a problem with a missing file "tiny_obj_loader.h":

    bindings.cc:10:10: fatal error: 'tiny_obj_loader.h' file not found
    #include "tiny_obj_loader.h"

Environment

• current TinyObjLoader version
• OS: macOS
• Python: 3.8.5 in virtualenv
• Environment: Visual Studio Code

Does anybody else have this problem? The whole log file looks like this:

I updated and upgraded pip, but that didn't solve the issue:

Thanks a lot in advance!

You need to use 2.0.0 branch: https://pypi.org/project/tinyobjloader/2.0.0rc7/
(it has a precompiled binary for Windows, Linux and macOS)

NOTE: python binding is not officially supported yet

[Cocco17]

Alright, thanks a lot for the quick response!
Just tried to install it and it seems to work :)

Regarding your note: I see that this is still an early version and there is no official support yet. However, I was looking for a parser to view wavefront obj files with pyqtgraph and I wanna give it a shot with this bindings.

At least python bindings should work well for mandatory attributes(vertex positions, indices, etc).

There may be missing parameters(e.g. Material parameters) which is not yet exposed into Python world.
Contribution of improving python bindings is always welcome.
