For people who wish to contribute help to this case, it is a continuation of a previous question by guantong about how to install Pyntcloud. Read downward from the link below.

Hi guantong, are you still getting the same errors as you did before when you try to install Pyntcloud?

in cmd:pip install git+https://github.com/daavoo/pyntcloud https://github.com/daavoo/pyntcloud

Sometimes an installation fails, and then it works when trying again at a later date. So Pyntcloud is working for you now, please?

i have another question:

ImportError: cannot import name 'PyntCloud'

[MartyG]

My research into your question suggests that ImportError problems with Python seem to be difficult to solve. One suggestion is to put 'python -m' at the start of the pip install instruction to make sure that the library is installed into the default version of Python on your computer, and not another Python interpreter. So the Pyntcloud install instruction would look like this:

python -m pip install git+ https://github.com/daavoo/pyntcloud

still does not work...

i am using anaconda

The bottom line of the log says that Pyntcloud has been successfully built. I am not sure what the next step after that is though. A post (linked to below) in which the creator of Pyntcloud replies seems to suggest that once installation is complete, you should go to the root location of the Pyntcloud repository and use

python setup.py install

If that does not work for you, I recommend re-opening that linked discussion on GitHub and leaving a comment for the creator, Daavoo.
