Pysal: Trouble installation: No module named 'shapes'

[Greg2806]

Hi,

I'm using Python 3.4 with Windows 8.1. I've installed numpy, scipy. When trying to install pysal by 'python setup.py install' I'm getting the following error: No module named 'shapes'.

Can anybody help me out? I've already searched the web but couln't find anything.

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, PySAL is not available in Python 3.4 at the moment. What you're describing is the error that occurs when PySAL is imported into a Python 3.4 environment.

We hope to release a Python 3 compatible release soon.

One soultion would be to use a python 2.7 environment when you need to use PySAL until the 3-compatible version is out.

Hi, has this been solved?

Yes, PySAL has been 3 compatible since 1.11 https://github.com/pysal/pysal/releases/tag/v1.11.0

Thanks! Although it(1.12.0py35)'s been successfully installed, when run my script

...
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pysal/__init__.py", line 40, in <module>
    import pysal.cg
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pysal/cg/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    from shapes import *
ImportError: No module named 'shapes'

Don't know why ...

How have you installed PySAL?

[ljwolf]

@gm6 could you try:

pip uninstall pysal
pip install --no-cache-dir pysal

[sjsrey]

That error can happen when you install with pip that is from python 2x but then try to import pysal when running python 3x.

Wow, guys, you are my heroes!
