ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'attention'

[RoelVdP]

sudo apt install python-pip
pip install tensorflow
pip install dm-sonnet
pip install tqdm  
pip install numpy
git clone https://github.com/louishenrifranc/attention.git
cd attention
./run_micro_services.sh

Gives:

$ ./run_micro_services.sh 
Experiment will be run without saving current version of the code/config
Running Task Data Generation
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "attention/services/create_copy_task/create_copy_task.py", line 1, in <module>
    from tqdm import trange
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tqdm'
Run Task Data Generation

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "attention/services/attention_train/attentiontrain.py", line 6, in <module>
    from attention.utils.config import AttrDict, RunConfig
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'attention'

So tried:

 sudo apt install python3-tqdm
 sudo apt install python3-numpy

But then get:

$ ./run_micro_services.sh 
Experiment will be run without saving current version of the code/config
Running Task Data Generation
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "attention/services/create_copy_task/create_copy_task.py", line 9, in <module>
    from attention.utils.config import AttrDict

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "attention/services/attention_train/attentiontrain.py", line 6, in <module>
    from attention.utils.config import AttrDict, RunConfig

OS: Ubuntu Bionic.
Any ideas?

[RoelVdP]

cp attention/utils/config.py ./attention/services/create_copy_task/
cp attention/utils/config.py ./attention/services/attention_train/

and change attention/services/create_copy_task/create_copy_task.py to:

from config import AttrDict

and similar change to attention/services/attention_train/attentiontrain.py
and similar copy/change for other things reference from top of attentiontrain.py
etc.
It may end up working that way, but it's hacky.

Found a solution here (the problem is python 3 compatibility):
