Problems with installation

[NstVasileva]

Hi! You say that imnet now works with python3, but I can't install imnet using pip3, for example, because for some reason python2 and python3 conflict on our server and python2, in particular pip2, doesn't work. So, won't I have a possibility to install it via pip3?

Hi @AnastasiaRein, apologies that your issue went unnoticed! Did you manage to resolve the installation problem in the meantime?

Hi everyone, I also tried to install the package with pip in both python3.6 and python 2.7.18 environment. The install process is quite successful. However, when I try to import imnet , exception came out: "No module named process_strings_cy" . after some searching, I get that this is a cython problem. So the right way to install the package is first to download it and open the folder, then in the terminal run : python setup.py build_ext --inplace && python setup.py install. After this, you can use the package either in python3 or python2 environment. I hope this may be helpful!

Hi @dormeight thanks for the comment - I tried to fix this by adding cython explicitly as a build dependency. It installs and imports fine for me now on python 3.7. Can you try it with

pip install git+https://github.com/rokroskar/imnet.git@002-fix-install#egg=imnet

[dormeight]

Hi @rokroskar, it works perfectly now

[rokroskar]

great, thanks for checking @dormeight! I will merge this PR then and make another release.

Hi! I'm interested in running imnet on our local high security (highly restricted install privileges) computing cluster through a singularity container. This is the recipe script i used, building with singularity 2.4:

Bootstrap: docker
From: ubuntu:16.04

%post
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt -y install python3
apt -y install curl
curl "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py" -o "get-pip.py"
python3 get-pip.py
pip install imnet

However I get these error messages when building reaches the "pip install imnet":
"building wheel for imnet (setup.py) ... error
...
ERROR: Failed building wheel for imnet"

and

"Building wheel for python-Levenshtein (setup.py) ... error
...
ERROR: Failed building wheel for python-Levenshtein"

Of note, this only happens when building in the singularity container, not when installing on my mac locally, where pip install imnet runs fine.

(Also, I found that there are some scripts that uses the python2 print without parentheses, and crashes when running with python3. Though some other scripts appear to use python3, though I managed to get it to run by adding parentheses manually :-) )

Kind regards,
Eirik

Hi @eirikhoye thanks for reporting this - turns out I made a mistake in the last release and didn't properly include the setup requirements. Could you try again? I just made a new release 0.2.1 and tried installing it using docker like this:

docker run --rm -ti python pip install imnet

This works without any errors on my machine.

[eirikhoye]

Thanks, the command you used also ran without errors on my machine, so I suspect the difficulties are on my end. Thank you for your assistance! :-)

I don't have singularity set up here - could you give it a try in your singularity image build and let me know how it goes?
