Error using irace in python

[S. Sadeghi]

Hi,

I am trying to use irace in python. I followed the steps to use the package. But I get the following error.

"    from irace import irace

ImportError: cannot import name 'irace' from 'irace' (unknown location)"

Thank you for taking the time to read my message.

Best,

Sedigheh

Hi Sedigheh,

You need to install the package. See https://github.com/auto-optimization/iracepy/#installation

When you execute this line:

pip install git+https://github.com/auto-optimization/iracepy@main

pay attention to any errors and to the location where irace is installed. Is it the same location as your version of python? In some systems you may need to use pip3 instead of pip to force Python 3.

There is another irace for python here: https://github.com/Saethox/iracepy-tiny

You may wish to also try with that (they use the same implementation of irace, only the Python interface is slightly different).

Best wishes,

Manuel.
