Resolving python package errors

[JosephKJ]

Hi, thanks for this awesome library.

When I tried running

python utils/main.py --model=icarl --dataset=seq-cifar10 --buffer_size=500

I got the following error:

joseph@machine:~/workspace/mammoth$ python utils/main.py --model=icarl --dataset=seq-cifar10 --buffer_size=500
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "utils/main.py", line 7, in <module>
    from datasets import NAMES as DATASET_NAMES
ImportError: cannot import name 'NAMES'

I could resolve this by adding:

import os
import sys
conf_path = os.getcwd()
sys.path.append(conf_path)
sys.path.append(conf_path + '/datasets')
sys.path.append(conf_path + '/backbone')
sys.path.append(conf_path + '/models')

to mammoth/utils/main.py.

I have updated my fork with it.

I just thought of brining it up here, so that no one else might fret around this issue.

Thanks!

Yes, you're not the first to get that issue either. We usually solve it by setting PYTHONPATH=<MAMMOTH_ROOT_FOLDER> manually before launching main.py, but I reckon your config does that automatically.
Feel free to open a pull request, I'll merge it!

Also, if you feel like adding methods to our library (we'd love to have your Merlin :D) additions and pull requests are absolutely welcome!

Thank you Matteo. Sure, I will work on Merlin a while later :) I have created a PR for this issue now.
