Description

I installed gammalib from conda (v2.0.0 is the last version available from this channel).

Following the documentation, I started by checking if everything works with
the test() function and the program crashed immediately.

(gammalib) [michele@d-h-122 ~]$ ipython

There is indeed no test*s* module, just test.
First I tried naïvely to fix the typo, but there is also no function named test_python in that module,

ImportError: cannot import name 'test_python' from 'gammalib.test' (/Users/michele/Applications/mambaforge/envs/gammalib/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gammalib-2.0.0-py3.10-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg/gammalib/test.py)

Recurrence

No recurrence.

Okay, there is a tests folder missing, but everything else looks ok.

Have you tried stuff from http://cta.irap.omp.eu/gammalib/users/quickstart.html, skipping the gammalib.test() command?

Maybe the installation is correct but something went wrong with the tests installation. I need to see whether I manage to install a macos Big Sur 11.7.4 VM for testing.

#4 Updated by Peresano Michele over 1 year ago

Yes the rest of the quickstart works as expected (by the way, the link to the Doxygen documentation points to a non-existent HTML page)

#5 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 1 year ago

Thanks for feedback. I will see if I can reproduce and fix the problem.

Thank also for mentioning the broken Doxygen link, I will fixed it.

In the meantime I tested the conda version for Python 3.10 on my Mac to see whether the problem is related to this specific Python version, and this seems to be the case!

After creating a Python 3.10 environment and installing gammalib I see the following in the site-package folder:

$ ls /Users/jurgen/anaconda3/envs/gammalib-test-3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/
README.txt                    pip-23.0.1-py3.11.egg-info
_distutils_hack                    pkg_resources
distutils-precedence.pth            setuptools
gammalib                    setuptools-67.6.0-py3.11.egg-info
gammalib-2.0.0-py3.10-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg    wheel
gammalib.pth                    wheel-0.38.4-py3.11.egg-info
pip
Here there is a gammalib folder and a gammalib-2.0.0-py3.10-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg folder. The tests directory ends up in the gammalib folder, the remaining stuff is in the gammalib-2.0.0-py3.10-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg folder.

For Python 3.9 the organisation of the site-packages folder is different:

$ ls /Users/jurgen/anaconda3/envs/gammalib-test-3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/
README.txt                        gammalib-2.0.0-py3.9-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg-info    setuptools
_distutils_hack                        pip                            setuptools-67.6.0-py3.11.egg-info
distutils-precedence.pth                pip-23.0.1-py3.11.egg-info                wheel
gammalib                        pkg_resources                        wheel-0.38.4-py3.11.egg-info
Here, everything is in gammalib, there is no gammalib-2.0.0-py3.9-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg folder but a gammalib-2.0.0-py3.9-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg-info folder that does not contain the modules.

The difference between both formats is described at https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/python_eggs.html. I guess that the conda package manager changed the way how it deals with the eggs between Python 3.9 and 3.10 (the setuptools are setuptools-67.6.0 for both Python versions, as shown above).

#7 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 1 year ago

I think the issue comes from the fact that the building and installation of the Python module is handled over the pyext/setup.py script, while the tests folder is generated using the gcc make system (file pyext/Makefile.am).

#8 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 1 year ago

It turns out that the different installation in Python 3.10 with respect to Python 3.9 is related to a behind-the-scenes switch from distutils to setuptools. See #4223 for more information.

#9 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 1 year ago

#10 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 1 year ago

  • Status changed from In Progress to Closed
  • % Done changed from 50 to 100

I have implemented the necessary changes (see #4223), they will go into the next release. I close the issue now.
