Dependencies on specific versions

[bortzmeyer]

The documentation is quite vague about the requirments, mentioning packages but not their versions. For instance, on a Debian stable, the packages mentioned do not work:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "CycleHunter.py", line 5, in <module>
    from CyclicDetector import map_nsset
  File "/home/bortzmeyer/tmp/CycleHunter/CyclicDetector.py", line 2, in <module>
    import dns.asyncresolver
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dns.asyncresolver'

This is because CycleHunter requires a more recent version of dnspython, so the apt install command mentioned in the doc is wrong.

Same issue for tqdm:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "CycleHunter.py", line 5, in <module>
    from CyclicDetector import map_nsset
  File "/home/bortzmeyer/tmp/CycleHunter/CyclicDetector.py", line 15, in <module>
    import tqdm.asyncio
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tqdm.asyncio'

In both cases, removing the Debian package and installing with pip works.

I think I added as a requirement Python 3.7 minimum. that should do... I guess

[bortzmeyer]

Nope. Debian stable has Python 3.7.3 but the problem is in external libraries (such as dnspython).

[gmmoura]

Oh thanks ( the original version of cyclehunter did not require asyncio, but the newer did, so the text seems that has not been updated.

So what did you have to do on Debian? remove dnspython and re-install it with pip3.7? (so I can then update the readme file)

[bortzmeyer]

Yes, see above "removing the Debian package and installing with pip works"

[gmmoura]

fixed, thanks @bortzmeyer
