Installation Issues

[nelsonam]

Hello,

I recently installed Clarifai from pip (I tried this on both python 2.7 and 3.5).

I am trying to follow the code sample here: https://developer.clarifai.com/quick-start/ (The python one)

When I run from clarifai.rest import ClarifaiApp I receive this error:

>>> from clarifai.rest import ClarifaiApp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/clarifai/rest/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
    from .client import ApiClient, ApiError, UserError, TokenError
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/clarifai/rest/client.py", line 19, in <module>
    from past.builtins import basestring
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/past/__init__.py", line 89, in <module>
    from future import __version__, __copyright__, __license__
ImportError: cannot import name '__version__'

What should I do to resolve this?

Hi @nelsonam! Do you receive the same exact error when you try this on 2.7?

@nelsonam It looks like your env has something wrong with the past package. That lib comes with the native python so I am not exactly sure what happened.

Could you help verify if it works with a fresh virtualenv like below?

@robertwenquan Yes, it worked with a fresh virtualenv. Strange! Thank you for your help.
