Installation fails about cutesv

[Meltpinkg]

Hello, @pkerbs

Thanks for your valuable advice! In fact this dependencies brought inconvenience to the installation. There is an easier way to solve it by downgrading setuptools by pip install setuptools==57.5.0.
In addition, we'll modify the dependencies to another VCF parser. The update will be released in later days.

Hi Shuqi,
thank you for your response.
I tried that already, but unfortunately I still get the same error message:

  × Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> [1 lines of output]
      error in PyVCF setup command: use_2to3 is invalid.
      [end of output]

I am using a python virtual environment created using python 3.9.5
Do you have another idea what I am doing wrong?

Best,

Hello, @pkerbs

I have created a virtual python environment through conda, and I ran the installation by the following command:

# create the environment
conda create -n cutesv_env python=3.9.5
conda activate cutesv_env
# downgrade setuptools
pip install setuptools==57.5.0
# install cuteSV
pip install cuteSV

Through these, cuteSV can be successfully installed, and the pip list are shown as below:

$ pip list
biopython     1.81
cigar         0.1.3
cuteSV        2.1.0
Cython        3.0.6
joblib        1.3.2
numpy         1.26.2
pip           23.3.1
pysam         0.22.0
PyVCF         0.6.8
scikit-learn  1.3.2
scipy         1.11.4
setuptools    57.5.0
threadpoolctl 3.2.0
wheel         0.41.2

Just an idea, maybe you can try installing PyVCF v0.6.8 firstly?
In fact, this dependency bring much inconvenience, and we are now fixing it in the next version.

Hello Shuqi,
I tried your suggestion and indeed it worked by installing PyVCF first in a freshly created virtual environment.
What I did (with Python 3.9.5 installed):

python -m venv cutesv_venv
source cutesv_venv/bin/activate
pip install PyVCF
pip install cutesv

Thank you for working on a fix for the next version.

Best,
Paul
