Problem while installing pybinding

[joyphysics]

I am trying to install the package on Windows 11. Even I tried to install it on Ubuntu, I am still getting the same error.

I have ->
Python 3.10.11
cmake version 3.30.1
visual studio 2022 17.10.5
and others as well....

pip3 install pybinding

Please provide a possible resolution to this issue or provide an alternate way to install the package. Thank you.

use pip install pybinding-devon a new virtual environment (you can create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv newvenv and then use the python or python.exe in newvenv/bin/python or newenv\Scripts\python.exe)

Please also take in mind that the recent matplotlib version does not work with Pybind11 classes, you have to use matplotlib==3.9.0(which is set automatically when you use pip install pybinding-dev).

I only support python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12. This comes with a pre-compiled binary, to get small preformance benefits, you can compile from source (--no-binary) using the new pybinding-dev release.

Please let me know if this works.
Best

As per your suggestion, I installed pybinding-dev instead of pybinding, which worked well.

However, I actually want to install and use the BerryEasy package, but it appears to have a dependency on pybinding. When I try to install BerryEasy, it fails due to the missing pybinding dependency. Unfortunately, it seems that BerryEasy does not recognize pybinding-dev as a suitable replacement.

Could you please provide guidance on how to proceed with installing and using BerryEasy given that I have pybinding-dev installed? Is there a workaround or a specific way to configure BerryEasy to work with pybinding-dev or install it without pybinding ?

[BertJorissen]

you can first install pybinding with pip install pybinding-dev, and then install the dependencies for BerryEasy, pip isntall tqdm, and then you can install BerryEasy without the check for the dependencies, pip install BerryEasy --no-deps

[BertJorissen]

Also, there is support for the wavefunction and Berry phase in pybinding now, see https://bertjorissen.github.io/pybinding/tutorial/wavefunction.html (work in progress)

[joyphysics]

Thank you. That works perfectly. :)
