I’ve been trying to get luarocks to work on windows, and all it gives is cryptic gcc errors.

How does pip manage to work on most platforms without issues?

    So web scraping speed is at issue? I believe Python has beautifulsoup for web scrapping.

    Unless it’s for a learning experience, would recommend to not reinvent the wheel. Have been there done that too many times.

    I feel like the village idiot cuz not properly learning that lesson.

      No, speed isn’t the issue. Its installing packages/modules on windows with luarocks, the lua package manager. It doesn’t work half the time on windows.
