Cannot install PySPI on Win10

[atlaie]

Hi Oliver,

I'm currently trying to install the PySPI package (following the instructions that I found on the documentation) on a Windows 10 system and an error pops up:

_error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['sktime', 'build_tools', 'extension_templates'].

  To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories,
  setuptools will not proceed with this build.

  If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages
  on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery.
  Instead, consider the following options:

  1. set up custom discovery (`find` directive with `include` or `exclude`)
  2. use a `src-layout`
  3. explicitly set `py_modules` or `packages` with a list of names

  To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs.
  [end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata. ╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip. hint: See above for details._

AFAIK, this is related to setuptools, but I don't know how to fix it, any ideas?

Hi there,

Thanks for reporting this. Unfortunately, I can't test on a windows machine, but I wonder if you could try out the suggested fix to disable the auto-discovery.

Could you try putting py_modules=[] into the setup.py, perhaps after line 45, and re-installing?

[atlaie]

Thanks for the guidance! Sadly, it didn't work.

Anyway, I managed to install PySPI on a Linux machine, so it's fine from my side :)

[olivercliff]

Shame about the fix not working, but great to hear you've got pyspi up and running.

If I get access to a windows machine soon I'll see what I can do.

I encountered a few issues while installing and running pyspi on Windows 11. Initially, I realized that I needed to use Python 3.8 specifically for this package. The later versions caused problems during the installation of libraries like sktime 0.8.0.

Next, I encountered problems with the system's octave and Java path. To resolve this, I added the following code before running the calculations:

import os pathToExecutable = "C:/Program Files/GNU Octave/Octave-8.2.0/mingw64/bin/octave-cli.exe" pathToJAVA_HOME = "C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-20" os.environ['OCTAVE_EXECUTABLE'] = pathToExecutable os.environ['JAVA_HOME'] = pathToJAVA_HOME

Later on, I encountered another error indicating the following: "ImportError: cannot import name 'Int64Index' from 'pandas'" I managed to resolve this by removing the newer versions of Pandas and numpy and installing Pandas 1.3.3 and numpy 1.21.1 instead. Although pyspi installs the latest versions of these packages, it seems that we need to install the specific versions mentioned in the setup file of the pyspi package.

I hope this information proves useful for those interested in installing pyspi on Windows.

Thanks @rmzargar It seems like @anniegbryant has incorporated some of this into the documentation in #27 to help future Windows users. Really appreciate you taking the time to share :) feel free to let us know if the docs could be clearer.

Hey Oliver,

I'm having issues with installing pyspi. Things seem to be fine when I run these two lines in my conda environment cmd prompt

$ git clone https://github.com/olivercliff/pyspi.git $ cd pyspi

But when I run "pip install .", I get the following error:

"× python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> [41 lines of output]"

I have limited experience with coding so I might be doing something silly, so would appreciate any guidance you can provide.

FYI: Computer is Windows 10, I've already installed Octave and Java. I've also updated 'ez_setup.py', and pip to version is 23.2.1.

[olivercliff]

Hi there,

I haven't seen that error before but it seems like a common issue when using conda. Have you updated setuptools as well as pip?

It seems there also might be more output after the exit code (41 lines of output), could you paste those here if updating setuptools does not work.

[HamidSediqi]

Hey Oliver,

Thanks for your email and help with this.

So, I’ve done all the things mentioned in the document you linked: updated setup tool, pip and anaconda, as well as install ‘wheel’. I’m still getting the same error.

Hi Hamid, can you try adding the following line to setup.py in your cloned pyspi repo (based on reports that this helps on stack overflow):

py_modules=[]

You can add it to line 91 of setup.py, right after extras_require={'testing': testing_extras, 'docs': docs_extras}. Once you add that line, try running python3 -m pip install . from your pyspi folder and see if that resolves the issue -- let us know if that works!

Hi Annie,

Thanks for your email. So, I’ve tried doing as you suggested, but am getting the following error:

@HamidSediqi May I ask which version of python you are running? I managed to successfully install pyspi on Windows 10 using a conda environment with python version 3.8.0 as per @rmzargar's suggestion.
