1 year ago going to use this library again for DCM fits and I forgot how I installed it the first time around. I will mess around with venvs and python package versions and try to reproduce the issues in the future, but for now here is my workaround:
0) start with a fresh venv in your working area, since a lot of these packages are outdated
1) clone scresonators from git directly, probably somewhere outside your workspace,
git clone https://github.com/Boulder-Cryogenic-Quantum-Testbed/scresonators.git
2) remove the line from requirements.txt that says pandas==1.5.*
3) install the requirements manually,
pip install -r ../<scresonators dir>/requirements.txt
4) now install scresonators with two flags,
pip install --use-pep517 --no-dependencies scresonators-fit
5) good to go! import the library in your python code using
import fit_resonator.resonator as scres
I have no clue what specifically made things work, I remember the issue being about old libraries that were dependencies of pandas/numpy that were incompatible with modern versions of setuptools/wheel/whatever. I'm treating it as supernatural and moving on :)
From what I can tell, it seems that some of the modules on the
requirements.txtare outdated relative to the others. I have been trying to download the library to use for some fitting on our data, but the setup.py process fails every time on a fresh python venv. I tried manually backdating my versions of setuptools and pip to around 01/2021, to match some of the older requirements in the requirements.txt but that also didn't work. The errors we are getting from trying to install dependencies from therequirements.txtfile are eitherlegacy-install-failureormetadata-generation-failed.I eventually got the library to install by using the
--no-dependenciesflag, and then manually installing each module, but then any code I run from the library fails to execute due to deprecated functions.I am working from my macOS 12.6.2, and my advisor also ran into the same issues on his windows computer.
