Unable to install tangram python library #22

Closed DannyBen closed 2 years ago

DannyBen commented 2 years ago

On Ubuntu 18

$ pip3 install tangram
Collecting tangram
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tangram (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tangram

$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.6)

This is reproducible on two different systems (although similar OS and specs).

Hi @DannyBen, after looking into this I have discovered that tangram requires pip >= 20.3, because it requires a version of pip that supports PEP 600 to install its native extension. It may be possible to support pip >= 19.3 with some changes in the future, but it will never be possible for us to support pip >= 9.0.1.

You can get tangram installed by upgrading pip. On Ubuntu 18.04 I was able to do so just by running:

pip3 install --upgrade pip

However, a better solution is to use a virtual environment:

apt install -y python3 python3-venv
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade pip

Either way, just confirm that pip is now at version 20.3 or later, and tangram should install correctly.

I have added a note to the README for the python package explaining this here.

Excellent, thanks for the update.

I can confirm upgrading pip solved it. I had no idea my pip3 is so outdated - I am only using it to install third party stuff, not for day to day python development.

I guess I can close this right? If not, reopen as you see fit.
