ImportError: No module named crab

[spoonyl]

from scikits.crab import datasets

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in
from scikits.crab import datasets
ImportError: No module named crab

what's wrong with this commend
I have installed crab by easy_install successfully

[poopoothegorilla]

I am getting the same result in Linux Mint... has there been any updates on this?

[Flowerowl]

Don't install crab in this way: pip install crab / easy_install crab
You can find crab in pypi.python.org, this is not our scikits.crab source
Solution:
git clone https://github.com/muricoca/crab.git
python setup.py install
good luck ~

guys is this project alive??, it seems pretty much quiet here since a long time....

[Flowerowl]

yeah, maybe the author has given up

Well, btw, what would you use to build a distributed recommender system?

[emilkjer]

Mahout (http://mahout.apache.org/) has become recognised for among other
things distributed recommendation systems. Highly scalable and highly
customizable with little effort. If you want to give it a play without too
much trouble get PredictionIO (http://prediction.io/) up running with a
Vagrant box.
