Hey guys,

I am at the end of my wits with this problem. When I try to install bob using pip install bob I get the following message:

Import Error: no module named io.base

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/bob.ip.optflow.hornschunk

I tried reinstalling all dependencies for bob via sudo apt-get install --reinstall and reinstalled python 2.7 too. I tried using pip3 instead ending with the same error messages.
Googling the error messages did not give me anything to work with either so I hope you guys can point me towards a resolution?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and already had bob running with a different python interpreter before.

I don't need optical flow packages or anything of that sort by the way, I would like to do speech analysis only. Is there maybe a way to exclude certain packages from installation?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Best
Benjamin

Hey Benjamin,

Why are you not using our conda installations?
https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob/wikis/Installation#conda-linux-and-macosx-64-bit
in the create command at the end, you can do:
conda create -n bob_env_py27 python=2.7 bob=2.3.4 bob.bio.spear bob.bio.gmm
And that should pull all the required packages for you.

If you use our conda installations, you need to apt-get install anything too.

If you need more info visit this page: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob/wikis/Installation-with-conda

Best,
Amir
