pip install not installing binary on Windows about arc-alkali-rydberg-calculator

[galwiner]

hey!
i'm running 64 bit windows, but it was indeed a config issue.
after trying to a while, i ran vanila code from the console as you suggested. it ran fine.
i was trying to run from pycharm, and was failing.
eventually i deleted the pycharm configuration file and created a new conda environment and that fixed the issue.
thanks!

This might be only the problem in incorrect use of Appveyor? I will comment out for now Appveyor check (ae37bbf).

I will be able to do more checks on Windows on Friday. If anyone experiences this error under Windows, and has more information (full traceback etc), please let me know. On the machine where it was originally spotted, there was a problem with old installation of Numpy library, that was solved with conda update numpy.

Just to offer another datapoint on this, I just upgraded from v1.3 to v2.0.0 on pip. I can import NumerovWavefunction without error. However, I'm not sure the binary installed correctly. v1.3 had a build folder with an actual .lib file. My v2.0.0 pip installation only has the .pyd for the c_extensions.

@dihm Thanks for insight! If you can run this line in Python:

from arc import * ;atom=Caesium();a1,b1 = atom.radialWavefunction(0,0.5,0.5,atom.getEnergy(15, 0, 0.5)/27.211,atom.alphaC**(1/3.0),2.0*15*(15+15.0), 0.001)

without errors, everything is fine. If it does produce some errors (or quits unexpectedly Python or kills kernel), please let me know (together with Windows version).

[dihm]

The above ran without errors for me.

Status update: pip installation on Windows seems to work after all. The problems I saw seem not to be related to ARC package itself, but to outdated Python environment on the particular machine.

I will keep this open for a while if someone experiences related issues, until I have time to check on more different installations myself.

[nikolasibalic]

No new problems reported. Closing this for now.

hey,
i'm encountering the same issue on a windows machine.
i've been having tons of config issues though, so it may just be the mess i made...

Hi Gal! @galwiner

Let me know please which Windows you have (32/64), and which Python version you are using. Did you installed latest version via pip (should be 2.0.4)?

Also, are you running from some special environment (like Spyder)? If so, have you tried running vanila code, just by calling

python your_code.py

from command line?
