ImportError: No module named 'decls' #32

matrey · 2018-03-01T06:55:10Z

Hi

I get the following error when importing pyvips:

$ python testvips.py 
DEBUG:pyvips:Binary module load failed: No module named '_libvips'
DEBUG:pyvips:Falling back to ABI mode
DEBUG:pyvips:Loaded lib <cffi.api._make_ffi_library.<locals>.FFILibrary object at 0x7fd20b984278>

  File "/REDACTED/.venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pyvips/__init__.py", line 75, in <module>
    import decls
ImportError: No module named 'decls'

I tried on 2 machines with the same result:

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, Python 3.5.2
Ubuntu 17.04, Python 3.5.3

I ran sudo apt-get install libvips libvips-dev libvips-tools --no-install-recommends
Then in my virtualenv pip install pyvips
pip show tells me pyvips is Version: 2.1.1 in ABI mode

Is there anything I missed?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Huh strange, decls is just part of pyvips:

https://github.com/jcupitt/pyvips/blob/master/pyvips/decls.py

I'll try to investigate.

jcupitt · 2018-03-01T07:10:24Z

If you have libvips-dev on there, it should work in API mode. Perhaps you have a cached binary wheel for pyvips? You could try deleting that and doing pip install pyvips again.

jcupitt · 2018-03-01T07:12:16Z

Also, which python are you using? It's currently passing with 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6, but failing with 3.3 and 3.4 due to a strange dependency problem.

matrey · 2018-03-01T09:41:54Z

I'm using Python 3.5 on both machines, within a virtualenv.
Checking on your remark "Perhaps you have a cached binary wheel for pyvips", I ran:

$ pip install --no-cache-dir pyvips

This time it seems to report being installed in API mode rather than ABI.
However, this still doesn't help running the sample code (though the error seems a bit different this time):

$ python testpyvips.py 
DEBUG:pyvips:Binary module load failed: /REDACTED/.venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/_libvips.abi3.so: undefined symbol: vips_image_get_fields

    import decls
ImportError: No module named 'decls'

Could it be related to the virtualenv? or to the fact I used "--no-install-recommends" for the libraries (sudo apt-get install libvips libvips-dev libvips-tools --no-install-recommends)?

jcupitt · 2018-03-01T13:05:21Z

Hello again, you've hit another bug, sorry:

https://github.com/jcupitt/pyvips/issues/33

Could you try git master pyvips? That one should be fixed now.

pyvips 2.1 has a big change to the way it installs :-( it seems to be causing trouble.

jcupitt · 2018-03-01T13:06:55Z

Oop, I was reading too quickly, that's a different problem.

I'll have another look at your decls issue.

matrey · 2018-03-01T15:49:18Z

By the way here are my libvips versions:

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, Python 3.5.2 --> libvips 8.2.2-1
Ubuntu desktop 17.04, Python 3.5.3 --> libvips 8.4.5-1build1 (installed libvips, libvips-dev, libvips-tools)

Doing the test on the latter (with libvips 8.4.5-1build1), using the most recent commit on master:

$ pip install --no-cache-dir git+git://github.com/jcupitt/pyvips.git@2bcaf01dbed6e7df117be1a004664e918827ee82

Now, it works! No more decls issue.

Testing on my other platform: Ubuntu (server) 16.04.1 LTS, Python 3.5.2 --> libvips 8.2.2-1.
On that one I only installed libvips (not -dev) so I'd expect it to use ABI

Installing the same version

$ pip install --no-cache-dir git+git://github.com/jcupitt/pyvips.git@2bcaf01dbed6e7df117be1a004664e918827ee82

$ pip show pyvips
Name: pyvips
Version: 2.1.2
Summary: binding for the libvips image processing library, ABI mode
...

Now the test...

$ python testvips.py 
DEBUG:pyvips:Binary module load failed: No module named '_libvips'
DEBUG:pyvips:Falling back to ABI mode

    import decls
ImportError: No module named 'decls'

So the "decls" issue still seems to be happening under these conditions:

Ubuntu (server) 16.04.1 LTS
Python 3.5.2
libvips 8.2.2-1 (and without -dev)
pyvips master@2bcaf01dbed6e7df117be1a004664e918827ee82

might help https://github.com/jcupitt/pyvips/issues/32

jcupitt · 2018-03-01T16:08:34Z

Some progress! Thank you for being so patient with this.

Could you try master again? I made decls a relative import, perhaps it'll help.

jcupitt · 2018-03-01T16:39:18Z

Oh dear, that was silly. Try again, it's working for me now.

matrey · 2018-03-02T02:34:00Z

Good news! No more error on Ubuntu (server) 16.04.1 LTS + libvips 8.2.2-1 (without -dev) / ABI mode

I also re-checked the other platform just in case.
Ubuntu desktop 17.04, Python 3.5.3, libvips 8.4.5-1build1 (installed libvips, libvips-dev, libvips-tools)

with dev headers installed, API mode --> OK
after uninstalling the dev headers, ABI mode --> OK
