apertium.InstallationNotSupported: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

[alexeyev]

Dear colleagues, thank you for your work!

Upon installation via pip (Windows Subsystem Linux: Ubuntu 22.04), everything crashes with the following message:

File "/tmp/pip-install-hvsnle_y/apertium_ce068313e7c94643af64456dbc681497/apertium/installer.py", line 164, in install_apertium                                                                                                                   installer = get_installer()

Is that it, apertium-python doesn't work on WSL2?

Thank you in advance, best regards.

Same issue !

[TinoDidriksen]

Odd. The relevant code section is https://github.com/apertium/apertium-python/blob/master/apertium/installer.py#L153-L166 which should work just fine on Ubuntu 22.04.

Odd indeed

So, judging by the code, that means that upon the installation, platform.system() returns Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS instead of Linux?

Dear colleagues, is there anything we can do as a temporary hack to make apertium-python work on WSL2?

upd: the same problem arises when installing apertium in colab's environment.

[TinoDidriksen]

It works when installing from source. The version on PyPi is outdated. We'll see about updating it.
