The problem was that the python module basemap
was not installed as part of the conda lsat-sims-maf installation, i.e. when running the following code:
conda create -n lsst --clone numpy
source activate lsst
conda config --add channels http://eupsforge.net/conda/dev
conda install lsst-sims-maf
So it seems like we need to update the lsst-sims-maf
dependencies to include basemap
.
This is a known issue--basemap isn't currently one of the supported 3rd party packages in the stack. Very few people use the Lambert projection, so we haven't pushed for it. If you want to use it, a quick conda install basemap
or pip install basemap
usually solves the problem.
Thanks for the info, and makes sense not to require it since it isn't used frequently. Perhaps we could just make a note of it in the ipython notebook.
When running the following chunk of code, which is part of https://github.com/LSST-nonproject/sims_maf_contrib/blob/master/tutorials/Spatial_Coordinates.ipynb:
I get the following error:
Note that I am able to run the rest of the notebook without any errors.
