I've been trying to install netifaces in Windows 10, unsuccessfully. This was my input in the cmd:
C:\Users\usuario\Downloads\SonOTA-master\SonOTA-master>pip install netifaces
This was the response by the cmd:
Collecting netifaces
Using cached netifaces-0.10.6.tar.gz
Installing collected packages: netifaces
Running setup.py install for netifaces ... error
Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Looking if others were having this issue I searched and found a Stackoverflow article addressing it:
see link: (unable to build netifaces)
There's an answer that says:
"Rename netifaces.c to netifaces.cpp (and update the setup.py accordingly)".
I don't know how to do this renaming process because I didn't download any netifaces.c file. I just wrote the input "pip install netifaces", so I don't know how to rename a file this way.
I'm no expert but I'm 100% willing to learn. If its a dumb question, sorry. This is also my first stackoverflow question post. If I have not done it properly, please let me know and next time I'll do it better.
I've seen you guys are really helping tons of people at helping them solve their problems, together as a community. Huge props for that.
