Develop installation from source fails because of prettytensor dependence

[wpm]

I did the following to install samyro

conda create --name samyro --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge tensorflow
source activate samyro
git clone https://github.com/wpm/samyro.git
cd samyro
python setup.py develop

(My fork of the code is identical to your original.) I get this error.

error: tensorflow 0.8.0 is installed but tensorflow>=0.9.0rc0 is required by set(['prettytensor'])

However, pip install samyro succeeds.

Same issue if I create a Python 3.4 Conda environment.

conda create --name samyro --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge tensorflow python=3.4

However, python setup.py install installs the package without error.

[wpm]

However, when I try to run samyro in my Python 3 environment, the prettytensor version error still manifests:

> samyro learn timecube.cli

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The issue is that https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge only has tensorflow 0.8.0. The latest version is 0.9.0, and prettytensor relies on this one.

You can get this to work by directly running

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.9.0rc0-py3-none-any.whl

instead of install tensorflow via Conda.

[wpm]

I'm not sure if you want to address this by upping the tensorflow version requirement to 0.9.0rc0 or holding prettytensor to an earlier version. (Though I imagine it's the former.)

FWIW, Bill's suggested install instructions fail for me because he's using mac; the Google install instructions have a different path for my Linux (no-GPU) machine:
