Problem installing lap if numpy not already installed

[shachargluska]

Hi,
looks like setup.py raises an ImportError if lap can't find numpy.

pip install lap[alldeps] still throws this error, but succeeds with pip 20.0.2.
For pip 22.0.3, this fails again:

pip install numpy lap also doesn't solve this, because lap is (possible) setup before numpy.

I think checking for the import in setup.py is problematic, since setuptools.setup isn't called yet.
I think the import check should be moved to the package itself.

Currently this can be worked around by using 2 separate pip calls. This makes it harder to include lap in a requirements.txt file.

Hi @shachargluska,

thanks for reporting this, I am aware of this being suboptimal and have it on the todo list to be patched. My plan is to get rid of the current setup.py altogether, ideally going for poetry. Lately I don't have much spare time on my hands, so this might take a while.

If you had time, experience and will to help with that, let me know.

Cheers,
Tomas

Why not just passing install_requires kw argument to setup() call?

Currently this can be worked around by using 2 separate pip calls. This makes it harder to include lap in a requirements.txt file.

Yes, I successfully installed the LAP library when using version 22.0.3 of PIP. So, for now, you can use this version of pip for installation.

I am also having this issue.

I think the error probably depends on the pip version. (python 3.9.10)

I had a error in pip 23.1.2 version

but pip 21.1.1 version successfully installed

Thank you. I've been searching online for a long time but I can't find a solution. Your method is actually useful

[Penguido]

Inspired by mp075496706 and izagood, I solved the problem with the following lines of command.

pip install --upgrade pip==22.0.3 # version 23.1.x of pip won't work and the --upgrade option uninstalls the current version to avoid conflicts, so you can't omit it.
pip install numpy
pip install lap

[ottokruse]

I'm running into the same error when installing with https://github.com/mitsuhiko/rye instead of pip

There seems to be no work around with rye because even if I install numpy first, installing lap fails.

rye add numpy
rye sync
rye run python -c 'import numpy; print(numpy.__version__)' # prints 1.26.1 for me
rye add lap
rye sync # fails with ImportError: lap requires numpy, please "pip install numpy".
