Import fails on OSX 10.12.5 using Anaconda

[jengelman]

I made a virtualenv to test out the package, and importing the module into python failed as follows:

Python 2.7.13 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Dec 20 2016, 23:05:08)

Can you do swig -version and paste the output?

[jengelman]

SWIG Version 3.0.10

Compiled with g++ [x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.2]

Configured options: +pcre

[deads]

The -> arrow notation is Python 3 syntax. The most likely reason for this error is you compiled paratext with Python 3 and imported it with Python 2.

Another thing to note: the stack trace indicates you are pulling from the current directory rather than the prefix where you installed Paratext.

@deads Tried recompiling with Python2, cd'd to the tests folder, and ran the following

import paratext
df = paratext.load_csv_to_pandas("hepatitis.csv")

and got the following error:

Does the solution suggested here work?

[jengelman]

It did not. I checked the language settings, and they look correct:

(paratext) Joshs-MacBook-Pro:tests joshengelman$ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"`

[deads]

Does export LC_ALL="C" work for you?

[jengelman]

Yup, thanks!
