statsmodels: Unable to install statsmodels on Python 3.8
Hello,
I have tried installing statsmodels on my computer, but it’s not working. I used python3 -m pip install statsmodels command on my command window. My computer is a 64-bit Microsoft Windows 10 HP Envy. I have attached a picture of the error message that I receive:
From what I can see, the major errors include: “Could not build wheels for statsmodels which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly”, “Failed building wheel for statsmodel”. (I don’t even know what PEP 517 is).
Please can anyone assist? Thank you.

I think this is solved since wheels are available. Please let us know if it continues
It will be a while. I don’t see any plans for a release any time soon. Summer 2021 perhaps.
If you really need it you can install from master, or install a nightly wheel.

Thanks for the report. I found the issue.
Try
pip install statsmodels --upgradenow. The wheel for Pyhon 3.7 on Win64 was missing.
