annoy C++ Build Tools dependency #53

Closed ryEllison closed 3 years ago

ryEllison commented 4 years ago

Below is a truncated version of my post-review comment bringing this issue to your attention -

"...the annoy dependency threw an error and exited because of it's need for Visual Studio C++ Build Tools... However, I tested this package on a new laptop that I had yet to install C++ Build Tools... I suppose its need is handled in the error message of annoy..."

I don't have the error message as you requested because I installed C++ Build Tools onto my machine. Perhaps create a virtual windows environment, install and configure python, and attempt pip installation. This should result in the error message I ran into...

Hi all,

There is another alternative to annoy package for nearest neighbors that it seems to be faster and supports several distance metrics. The package in question is pyNNDescent at https://pynndescent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html
