Could you give a more detailed environment?

[cutelittletiantian]

There is much troubleshooting when following your guide in README.md, none of the demo codes can be replicated on my computer. I don't know if there are any hidden bugs or it's only for my issue. Then could you give us a more detailed environment, including the libraries needed and their version?

Did you follow the installation instructions here? It should install all of the right packages.

[cutelittletiantian]

Yes, of course, I have done it! I have tried many times in different ways. I used python 3.6.5 and I'm not quite sure about its compatibility though. I can only run quite a few of the codes in Jupyter Notebook.

What error are you getting?

[cutelittletiantian]

Mostly there are the 'BadZipFile: File is not a zip file' errors. I think probably there is some problem with what I download inside but I can't spot it.

For example:

import checklist
from checklist.editor import Editor
from checklist.perturb import Perturb
from checklist.test_types import MFT, INV, DIR
editor = Editor()

t = editor.template('This is {a:adj} {mask}.',  
                      adj=['good', 'great', 'excellent', 'awesome'])
test1 = MFT(t.data, labels=1, name='Simple positives',
           capability='Vocabulary', description='')

This is what you provide with us in the first cell of a jupyter file. Then here's the error I got:

Similar errors always occurred in other files whenever I tried to import those libraries.

You have a problem with the pattern package. Check this out.

[cutelittletiantian]

Great, I can run them again. Thank you!
