ImportError: cannot import name 'SOMFactory'

[stef8310]

Hello,

I have installed sompy without any errors (https://github.com/sevamoo/SOMPY).
However when i try:

import sompy

I receive an error code:

File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sompy-1.0-py3.5.egg\sompy__init__.py", line 30, in
from sompy import SOMFactory
ImportError: cannot import name 'SOMFactory'

I am using Python 3.5.1 (Anaconda 4.1.1 for Windows)
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Stefan

Hi
Unfortunately, python 3 is not fully compatible yet.
This might be the reason.

Python 3 isnt the issue here (atleast for this error). He most probably used pip install sompy directly. The direct pip install is not updated and doesnt include SOMFactory and many other modules (atleast for me). I had to download the setup and used the suggested method of installation.

python setup.py install

But, (again for me only) instead of installing it, it created a .egg file in my site-packages folder. So I had to use pip on the local zip folder containing the setup to directly install it.

I also ran into the ipdb conflict after that but it was already resolved by Sevamoo in another thread I think (downgrading it to 0.8.1)

Works like a charm now, on python 2.7 virtualenv

Hello all!
I am trying to install SOMpy and I have the exact error as @Akshaysehgal2005. I am working in a virtualenv with python 2.7. I ran python setup.py install, everything seems to be well but then when I run the example: 'module' object has no attribute 'SOMFactory'

could you clarify what did you do exactly when you say: " I had to use pip on the local zip folder containing the setup to directly install it."?

I would very much appreciate it.

thanks! can't wait to use this tool. I used to use the library in matlab in my phd but now I would like to move to python.

thanks!!

I solved it. These were my steps if anyone has the same problem.
Downloaded the zip: https://github.com/sevamoo/SOMPY/archive/master.zip
and run:

pip install SOMPY-master.zip
Then I had to install ipdb:
pip install ipdb
And dowgrade it:
pip install ipdb==0.8.1

And now it works!!

install V1.0.0 via : pip3 install git+https://github.com/compmonks/SOMPY.git
change ipdb version to: pip install ipdb==0.8.1
now it works!!
