ImportError: No module named regex #26

Closed daviddoji closed 7 years ago

daviddoji commented 7 years ago

I installed the library via pip but when I try to use it within a script I'm getting the following error:

ImportError: No module named regex

Following the traceback, apparently the error occurs when importing normalizr.regex as regex

Hi daviddoji,

What version of Python are you using?

daviddoji commented 7 years ago

Python 2.7 with Canopy IDE

Yeah, seems like something to fix. In the mean time you have two options:

Clone the repository and use the setup.py as described in the README.md file.
Use Python 3.

Hope this can help you ;)

Just to shed some light, the behavior is the expected for the pip package. Initially, normalizr only supported Python 3. This has changed nowadays as you can see in the README.md file. The problem here is that the package hasn't been updated in Pypi. Will fix as said in #27.
