Cannot find the tap module

[arrakakki]

Description

thank you for creating and maintaining this project!I'm thinking of using this benchmark to test the algorithm efficiency on solving contact dynamic problem.I have successfully build this project and wanna to run examples(e.g. humanoid.py) within project directory,but some errors occur when importing tap module:

from tap import Tap

##Steps I’ve Tried##
1.I attempted to install tap using pip install tap, but the installed module doesn’t seem to be related to the project.
2.I checked the project’s requirements.txt or setup.py, but there was no clear mention of the tap module.
3.I searched through the project’s documentation and existing Issues but couldn’t find a solution.

Expected Outcome

It semms "tap" is used for argument parse,so Could you please clarify:

1. The exact source of the tap module (e.g., is it a module on PyPI, or is it part of the project itself?).
2. How to properly install or configure the tap module to run the project.

Environment Information

• Operating System: [ Ubuntu 24.04]
• Python Version: [e.g., Python 3.10]

Additional Information

If there’s any other information you need from me, please let me know! Thank you so much for your time and help—I really appreciate it!

Hi,
Tap refers to typed-argument-parser,you can install it either with conda or pip!

I am able to install the dependencies for this project and Compile it, but I want to use pycontact in a virtual environment (Python 3.10) in my host machine.
However, on my Ubuntu 24.04 system, all the software installed via robotpkg is built against the Python 3.12 binding, for example the dependencies for compiling this project: libeigen3-dev, robotpkg-pinocchio, robotpkg-proxsuite, robotpkg-py310-eigenpy, libcereal-dev. Specifically, robotpkg-py310-eigenpy is unavailable for Ubuntu 24.04（my host）, and instead, there is robotpkg-py312-eigenpy. This leads to a situation where I can compile the project successfully, but unable to import it in the Python virtual environment（python 3.10) in my host.

Could this project provide a precompiled Python package(like your proxqp_benchmark or projects in stack of stask ) ,or maybe offer some guidance to help me run the project?I would be very grateful if you could provide some guidance or assistance!Thanks!

Note: If I use Docker to compile the project on a Ubuntu 22.04 system, even if the libpycontact.so is compiled successfully, the libraries it depends on might not exist on my host system, causing significant difficulties.

if compile in docker ubuntu22.04 and uses the correct pre-built python binding pakcage in dependencies

buding this suceessfully does't work for me,because my host cann't satisfy all these depency cause it was build in docker😭
I would be very grateful if you could provide some guidance or assistance!Thanks!
