I run the following lines on Google Colab:

!pip install --upgrade constriction bumpy
import constriction

, which results in the same error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

----> 2 import constriction

Thank you for reporting and sorry for getting back to you this late. This should be fixed as of version 0.2.1, which now follows best practices when compiling python extension packages for linux.

Running the following on Google Colab now works:

!pip install constriction~=0.2.1  # (no need to explicitly mention numpy anymore it's a dependency now)
import constriction

Please feel free to reopen if you're still experiencing an issue.
