Missing environment variable 'BUILD_TAG' when installing Python module

[BramVanroy]

After successfully building the library on Linux, I also try to install the Python module on Python 3.7 using the installation guide. Unfortunately, that does not seem to work:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 29, in <module>
    setuptools.setup(name="thundersvm" + os.environ['BUILD_TAG'],
  File "/home/bram/.local/share/virtualenvs/semeval-task7-agI68AXG/lib/python3.7/os.py", line 678, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'BUILD_TAG'

It's a bug here. But if you just need the python library, you can try the pre-built ones. Download whl file for your platform in this link, and then run pip install xxx.whl

Or you can temporarily change line 29 in setup.py into setuptools.setup(name="thundersvm", and install again.

Will fix it soon.

Unfortunately you only have wheels for Python 3.6 and CUDA 10. I need to build it for 3.7 and 10.1 respectively.

So I can just remove + os.environ['BUILD_TAG'] in the setup file?

Yes, you can. This part of info is optional, and removing it does not affect your wheel file except the naming.

Okay, thanks. I'll leave this open until a fix is implemented.

This issue should have been fixed, so I would like to close it.
