Becca test error on macos Sierra running Anaconda

[dluzenst]

Hi everybody,

I'd like to try Becca but can'g get past the first test. I'm on macos Sierra 10.12.2 with anaconda 4.2.0. The pip install works well but I get the following error on the import becca_test.test

python
>>>import becca_test.test

Here is the output:

Python 3.5.2 |Anaconda 4.2.0 (x86_64)| (default, Jul  2 2016, 17:52:12)

    except pickle.PickleError, err:
                             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. David

I am getting the same result. Using Anaconda 4.4.0 on amd64. This is a public library account that cleans itself with each use. I have done nothing but follow the directions in the readme on two different machines. I am so eager to start using this program, but unable to start. Perhaps learning how pickle works could help me?

-Later that day- After reading the issue by microgold, I have successfully run the test suite. What it took for me is to install Anaconda2 (next big button down on the download page), and then comment out line 18 of Anaconda2\Lib\site-packages\becca_test\image1D.py.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you on this. I actually just had some issues testing this as well. The simplest solution I can see is to avoid depending on conda altogether and fill all the dependencies through pip. This may fix all or some of the problem.

Thank you, I'll try again soon. I'm still looking for a general purpose neural/genetic framework for hobby robotics. If I remember right, yours looked promising.
