[Request] Fixing compatibility issues with newer Python versions #12
Description
Initially, I tried to install eqtools with Python 3.12. But I received the dependency issue:
(py-312) ju@ju ~/eqtools (master)> python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ju/eqtools/setup.py", line 1, in <module>
from numpy.distutils.core import setup, Extension
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy.distutils'
With Python 3.11, I installed it. But when testing with the repository's provided script (tests/test.py), I ran into the following issue:
(py-311) ju@ju ~/eqtools (master)> python tests/test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ju/.venvs/py-311/lib/python3.11/site-packages/scipy/__init__.py", line 137, in __getattr__
return globals()[name]
~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^
KeyError: 'nan'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ju/eqtools/tests/test.py", line 23, in <module>
import eqtools
File "/home/ju/eqtools/eqtools/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
from .core import *
File "/home/ju/eqtools/eqtools/core.py", line 45, in <module>
from . import trispline
File "/home/ju/eqtools/eqtools/trispline.py", line 34, in <module>
class Spline():
File "/home/ju/eqtools/eqtools/trispline.py", line 78, in Spline
bounds_error=True, fill_value=scipy.nan
^^^^^^^^^
File "/home/ju/.venvs/py-311/lib/python3.11/site-packages/scipy/__init__.py", line 139, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError(
AttributeError: Module 'scipy' has no attribute 'nan'
After further investigation, I installed scipy==1.10.0 to resolve the error, which allowed the script to run successfully. However, I encountered the following warnings during execution of ``tests/test.py`:
/home/ju/eqtools/eqtools/core.py:48: ModuleWarning: trispline module could not be loaded -- tricubic spline interpolation will not be available.
warnings.warn("trispline module could not be loaded -- tricubic spline "
/home/ju/eqtools/eqtools/core.py:65: ModuleWarning: matplotlib modules could not be loaded -- plotting and gfile writing will not be available.
warnings.warn(
(19, 19)
It seems the modules are either missing or not loading properly, which impacts certain functionalities in the library.
Here's versions of my installed packages:
(py-311) ju@ju ~/eqtools (master)> pip list
