ImportError: libSBML required for fbc < 2

[Bhushan Dhamale]

I have been learning COBRApy from the tutorials in its documentation. In tutorial #3 'Reading and writing models', I get an import error for In [4] as ImportError: libSBML required for fbc < 2.

I am attaching a screenshot of my python script and output for the same for reference.

What is going wrong? How do I fix it?

[Moritz Beber]

Probably as simple as `pip install python-libsbml`.

Thank you for your timely reply Moritz.

As per your suggestion, I tried pip install python-libsbml. However, I am encountering errors during installations.

I tried installation with and without root access. I am attaching images of the installation errors.

You are using pip correctly, because you can navigate to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-libsbml and see that the package exists.

The issue is most likely due to lack of internet connection. The error "network unreachable" bit supports that theory. 

In addition, you may want to look into using a virtual environment (https://python-guide-pt-br.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/).

# in your working directory 

pip install virtualenv

virtualenv venv

. venv/bin/activate
