ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aquacrop.solution.solution_root_zone_water'

[SoothingMist]

• Using Python v3.10.
• Created virtual environment
• pip install aquacrop
• Created test.py using aquacrop's suggested initial example
• python test.py
• Received the subject error message, there appears to be a missing module

Try to run python -m aquacrop.scripts.initiate_library in the terminal. If you have an error like RuntimeError: Attempted to compile AOT function without the compiler used by numpy.distutils present. Cannot find suitable msvc. , install a msvc compiler. In my case, I have installed visual studio build tools, like in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_R3tXSq0KI

Followed what I had taken as a quick example from the ReadMe:

Install:

pip install aquacrop

Simple Code:

from aquacrop import AquaCropModel, Soil, Crop, InitialWaterContent from aquacrop.utils import prepare_weather, get_filepath

weather_file_path = get_filepath('tunis_climate.txt') model_os = AquaCropModel( sim_start_time=f"{1979}/10/01", sim_end_time=f"{1985}/05/30", weather_df=prepare_weather(weather_file_path), soil=Soil(soil_type='SandyLoam'), crop=Crop('Wheat', planting_date='10/01'), initial_water_content=InitialWaterContent(value=['FC']), ) model_os.run_model(till_termination=True) model_results = model_os.get_simulation_results().head() print(model_results)

Running "python -m aquacrop.scripts.initiate_library" yielded "No module named 'aquacrop'".

[SoothingMist]

Not sure if this is an adequate solution but added these two lines at the top of the example given in the ReadMe:

import os os.environ['DEVELOPMENT'] = 'DEVELOPMENT'

The example then ran without crashing but generated numerous instances of:

soil.py:333: FutureWarning: In a future version, df.iloc[:, i] = newvals will attempt to set the values inplace instead of always setting a new array. To retain the old behavior, use either df[df.columns[i]] = newvals or, if columns are non-unique, df.isetitem(i, newvals) self.profile.loc[

Using Python v3.310.

The original error message is a bug that seems to only really occour on windows and should be fixed with the advice given be @farafehizoro. Its just an unfortunate feature of having the C compilation using numba which I would love to one day remove. It would just be a decent amount of work to refactor the aquacrop code to keep the same or similar speed.

Your solution using os.environ['DEVELOPMENT'] = 'DEVELOPMENT' runs aquacrop in pure python (with the C compilation) so it works the same but will be slower.

I ran into the same problem as SoothingMist

i tried farafehizoro's solution, and indeed had to install Visual Studio Build Tools (got the 2022 version, but the msvc is from 2015) otherwise i was getting the mentioned error, i could not run "python -m aquacrop.scripts.initiate_library" in the terminal because i was getting an error like "distutils needs monkeypatch" (which seems related to this issue: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2372 ), but i could run the initiate_library.py file from the ide (after importing setuptools, which somehow applies that monkeypatch). but then i still get the error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aquacrop.solution.solution_root_zone_water'"

the only thing that worked was using the development environment (os.environ['DEVELOPMENT'] = 'DEVELOPMENT')

These common solutions to installation problems will be added to the readme in the upcoming minor update so closing this issue.
