Installation Procedure i followed:

first i install re2 using

brew install re2

then i did:

$ git clone git://github.com/axiak/pyre2.git $ cd pyre2.git $ sudo python setup.py install

I am getting this error when i am importing re2 in python Mac OS X.

I face the same issue.

It looks like conda/anaconda issue - they don't play well with python C extensions installed using setuptools/distutils.

In my case I am not using Anaconda but regular python installed by homebrew. re2 was also installed by homebrew.

Hmm, I've just tried the following, it worked:

brew upgrade re2
mkvirtualenv tst
pip install https://github.com/axiak/pyre2/archive/master.zip#egg=pyre2
