build error about pyannote-audio

[hbredin]

Did you follow the installation procedure? In particular, did you run conda install -c conda-forge yaafe first?

[ChristopherLu]

Yes,

(py35-pyannote-audio) $ conda install -c conda-forge yaafe

All requested packages already installed.
packages in environment at /xxx/xxx/:

yaafe 0.70 py35_2 conda-forge

[hbredin]

Sorry. I cannot reproduce this issue locally.
I just re-ran everything from scratch and it worked.
In particular, libsndfile is installed along with yaafe:

conda install -c conda-forge yaafe

Proceed ([y]/n)? y

[ChristopherLu]

Sorry, the previous problem solved.

But the new one is;
AttributeError: '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort' when I try to use pip install. Should I use the Anaconda3 (for now I only have Andaconda2). Or, is there a pyannote-audio version of py2.7? I remember the previous one is based on py27. Thx

[hbredin]

Can you please let me know how you solved the first problem?

For the second problem, you have to update pip and setuptools first.

pip install -U pip
pip install -U setuptools

I will update the documentation with those two lines.

[ChristopherLu]

I just deactivate the pyannote conda envand re-activate it again (perhaps we may need source sth. after install yaafe, I am very new to the conda created env, so I just brute-force de-activate...). I am not sure whether I did the right thing.

I tried pip install -U pip, but got the same error
AttributeError: '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort'

[hbredin]

Please start again from scratch following the updated installation instructions available at https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio#installation

[ChristopherLu]

I tried from the scratch, but still got the same problem. Just wanna ask, do you think it is related to my python/anaconda version?

[hbredin]

The problem comes from an outdated setuptools package.
If pip install -U setuptools does not work for you, then I am out of ideas on how to solve your problems...

[hbredin]

What does pip list return?
Which version of pip ?
Which version of setuptools?

[ChristopherLu]

All right. When I deactivate the env pyannote and run pip install -U setuptools, I got successful msg Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /home/myname/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages.
But it seems that the current pyannote is based on py35...
Can I build pyannote with py27? I successfully built all previous pyannote....

[hbredin]

You can use py27 -- but I cannot promise I will support it in the future.
I am convinced this is not the issue, though...

Can you please provide the output of pip list (in the activated environment)?

[ChristopherLu]

output of pip --version:

pip 9.0.1 from /home/myname/anaconda2/envs/pyannote/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)

[hbredin]

Please update setuptools.

You are using an old version that does not behave well with namespace packages...

[ChristopherLu]

I did try update setuptools, but then the problem comes. See the output of running pip install -U pip setuptools:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/myname/anaconda2/envs/pyannote/lib/python3.5/site-packages/setuptools-27.2.0-py3.5.egg'

[hbredin]

Ignore this error message -- run pip install -U setuptools once again and then check again with pip list that you have setuptools (36.0.1)

[ChristopherLu]

OK, see output of pip list | grep setuptools:
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.
setuptools (36.0.1)

Then I run pip install pyannote.audio, it gives:

In file included from _pysndfile.cpp:471:0:
pysndfile.hh:55:21: fatal error: sndfile.h: No such file or directory
#include <sndfile.h>
^
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

[hbredin]

Come on! You're almost there! You solved this sndfile problem before!

[ChristopherLu]

No. Even with this, the AttributeError: '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort' come again....

Anyway, will look it tomorrow. I guess this is my problem.

[ChristopherLu]

If possible, please list all your environment setup, I may try to configure a same one to build it again. Thx.

[hbredin]

Did you succeed?

[ChristopherLu]

Hi I succeed in another computer. I do not know why the previous issue happened. Thx

[glynpu]

I also meet this problem on my computer today. After setting setuptools version to 36.6.0 and installing gcc in the anaconda virtual environment, this problem is solved. However, I am not sure there is any relationship between this problem and these two packages and I am still confused about the reason to this problem.

comamnd for setuptools version specification:
pip install setuptools==36.6.0

command for installing gcc(from ):
conda install -c anaconda gcc

The version was chose according to another computer of mine, on which pyannote.audio is successfully installed.

[stanislavkozlovski]

if running on an M1 mac, do:

conda install -c conda-forge libsndfile
