Getting Anaconda to find hyperspy

[Sam Rosenthal]

Hello,

I know these types of questions are dumb.  I know I'm dumb.  I get all that, but this dummy needs help and I did do a ton of searching before bothering everyone on this list.  So I hope, even if the answer is obvious, that someone can lead me through the steps I need to follow.  I've already uninstalled all of my python related apps, libraries, and files (I was a Canopy user before) and then reinstalled Anaconda 3 and hyperspy to no success.

I need hyperspy for EDX analysis.  The website recommended Anaconda, so I downloaded the 64-bit version for Windows and ran the install.  I have Windows 10.  I also have a few other versions of python, but I made Anaconda my default.  After I downloaded and installed Anaconda, I then downloaded hyperspy with the same criteria.  However, when I run Spyder and try to import hyperspy using 'import hyperspy.api as hs', it says 'ImportError: No module named 'hyperspy''. 

As I've said, I've tried to follow the various guides and took some shots and resolving things using conda and various pip commands but to no avail including the pip command that anaconda.org supplied me.  Can anyone tell me what to do?  I would be extremely grateful!

Thanks,

Sam

Could you try installing HyperSpy from the terminal as follows?

pip install hyperspy

You could do it from Spyder's IPython too:

!pip install hyperspy

If the installation is sucessful, then you should be able to import
hyperspy from Spyder's IPython.

Could you let us know if this fixes the issue?

Thanks!

Francisco

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response!  I tried both commands in their appropriate places and was unsuccessful.  I got the following output (This is from IPython):

!pip install hyperspy
Collecting hyperspy
  Using cached hyperspy-0.8.2.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

        print "version = \"%s\"" % self.version
                               ^
    SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

Mmm, did you download the Python 3 version of Anaconda by any chance?
The current stable version of HyperSpy does not support Python 3.
However, the next minor release due in some few days will add Python 3
compatibility.

Hi Sam,

This looks like you might be using Python 3.X. I don't believe support for 3.X has been released yet. Can you try with a 2.X interpreter?

Hi Francisco and Josh,

Thanks so much!  This works!  I knew it would be something stupid I was overlooking.  Thank you! Thank you!

I don't wont to dissapoint you, but chances are that it is not working
for you yet if anaconda already ships with IPython 4, see https://githu
b.com/hyperspy/hyperspy/issues/713 . Again this is something that will
be fixed in the upcoming release.

In the meantime you could downgrade IPython to v3.

Hi,

Yep, tried to run my program and was unsuccessful.  Yet another newb question then: how do I downgrade to IPython v3 and get Anaconda to recognize that this is the version that I want to use?  Given some of the interesting things IPython v4 has, how do I then switch back?  I guess, simply put for a simple man, what are the steps I would need to take so that I would be able to run Hyperspy in the Anaconda environment?

Thanks,

Sam

Given that we are going to release 0.8.3 in the next few days, I think
that it'll be best for you to just wait for it. If you can't wait, you
can install HyperSpy's development version and, in this way, you'll
help us test it before the release. The branch that adds compatibility
with IPython 4 is yet to be merged. I'll send installation instructions
once this branch is merged, possibly later in the day.

You can help us test 0.8.3 by upgrading HyperSpy to the latest dev maintenance branch as follows:

    pip install --upgrade https://github.com/hyperspy/hyperspy/archive/0.8.x.zip

The hyperspy starting script is now deprecated. More information on how to import hyperspy here: https://github.com/hyperspy/hyperspy/blob/0.8.x/doc/user_guide/getting_started.rst

Could you (and any other who which to try the new version before the release) let us know if you experience any issue? Thanks!

Francisco
