Hello,
I’m having trouble installing NuPIC with pip on a new mac with OS X Yosemite.
In python, NuPIC imports OK ("import nupic"), but importing nupic.bindings.math
and many other modules crashes python.
For example
>>> import nupic.bindings.math
Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread
Abort trap: 6
or
>>> from nupic.frameworks.opf.modelfactory import ModelFactory
Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread
Abort trap: 6
Here’s how I installed everything (on a new mac):
- I installed home-brew in the standard way (“ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"”)
- installed python 2.7.9 ("homebrew install python”)
- installed virtualenv ("pip install virtualenv”) (this used the pip
corresponding to homebrew’s python)
- set up a virtual env in called ‘all’ in ~/ (“virtualenv all”)
- installed nupi dependencies ("brew install automake libtool cmake”)
- activated my virtualenv
- installed NuPIC ("pip install nupic”)
Everything seemed to run fine but I now get the errors mentioned above.
I’m trying to use home-brew’s versions of python (2.7.9) rather the system one
that came pre installed (2.7.6).
Entering “python” in terminal points to homebrew’s python, not the system
python.
I tested out installing other modules with pip (in my virtualenv) and they all
seem to work fine. (matplotlib)
Creating a virtualenv uses homebrew's python
Also when pip was installing nupic I noticed the wheel it was downloading was
the 10_9 file not the 10_10 that is listed on PYPI:
Collecting nupic
Downloading nupic-0.1.0-cp27-none-macosx_10_9_intel.whl (6.6MB)
100% |################################| 6.6MB 848kB/s
Not sure if that’s relevant
Any help/insight into this would be appreciated,
Ruaridh
