Setting up aesara

[Smit-create]

I want to set up a local aesara dev environment. I started by creating the conda env and tried to make some changes and test aesara. It showed me to build or install aesara to import it so I tried the following:

% python3 -m build

This ends up with the following error:

For a development setup, try pip install -e ./. Tell us if that gives you an error as well.

Better yet, we should have an environment.yml that can be used to construct a complete dev environment, so give that a try, too.

I have created an aesara-dev conda environment. Still that fails using pip install -e ./.

Full stacktrace:

Interesting; I'll try to reproduce locally and get back to you shortly...

[brandonwillard]

FYI: This would be a great time to have #1384!

[brandonwillard]

OK, I ran the following without issue (on Ubuntu Linux):

$ git clone git@github.com:aesara-devs/aesara.git
$ cd aesara
$ conda env create -f environment.yml --no-default-packages
$ conda activate aesara-dev
$ pip install -e ./

What does which pip return in your aesara-dev environment? Does its path come from the aesara-dev environment?

Also, what does conda list | grep -e setuptools -e pip return?

[Smit-create]

I'm on macOS (Apple M1 2020):

(aesara-dev) thebigbool@192 ~ % which pip
/Users/thebigbool/opt/anaconda3/envs/aesara-dev/bin/pip
(aesara-dev) thebigbool@192 ~ % conda list | grep -e setuptools -e pip
pip                       22.3.1             pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge
setuptools                65.6.3             pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge

For anyone else who many have this problem, the solution was to pull in all the tags from the upstream repository.
