Cannot import name `TreeStyle` from `ete3`

Hi,

not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I am trying to use a minimal example of rendering trees using ete3 version 3.1.2.

from ete3 import Tree
t = Tree( "((a,b),c);" )
t.show()

I get:

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

      1 t = Tree( "((a,b),c);" )
----> 2 t.show()

Other instances of this issue mention the need to install pyqt5 which I did successfully, but did not change the error.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I ran into the same issue (caused by PyQT5) today. It turned out, that it's not enough to install pyqt with pip. To show what error you actually have you should try to print the error where it's caused and silenced:

#/path/to/lib/pythonx.y/site-packages/ete3/__init__.py
try:
    from .treeview.svg_colors import *
    from .treeview.main import *
    from .treeview.faces import *
    from .treeview import faces
    from .treeview import layouts
except ImportError as e:
    pass
    #add e.g.
    print(e)

in my case the error message was: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory meaning, that I was missing the openGL system library. Maybe you should check wheter this is available on your system: ldconfig -p | grep libGL or locate libGL

Bad news is: I did not find a way to install libGL.so via pip or conda, so if you don't have root access to your machine, users might not be able to solve this on their own.
