Package: python-sfepy Version: 2016.2-2 Severity: normal I tried to run the examples using:
sfepy-run simple examples/diffusion/poisson_short_syntax.py and obtained: sfepy: left over: ['verbose', '__builtins__', '__file__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'data_dir', '__package__', '_filename'] sfepy: reading mesh [line2, tri3, quad4, tetra4, hexa8] (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meshes/3d/cylinder.mesh)... ... which fails because the mesh path is wrong. There needs to be a sfepy after dist-packages. The root cause of this is the computation of "top_dir" in version.py: # If installed, up_dir is '.', otherwise (in (git) source directory) '..'. for up_dir in ['..', '.']: top_dir = op.normpath(op.realpath(op.join(op.dirname(__file__), up_dir))) aux = op.join(top_dir, 'README') if op.isfile(aux): break else: raise RuntimeError('cannot determine SfePy top level directory!') The trouble is that ".." is tried first and there happens to be a README file at that path: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/README ! There's an obvious Debian-only fix to remove '..' in version.py, which is what I've done locally for now. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages python-sfepy depends on: ii ipython 5.1.0-3 ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libsuitesparse-dev 1:4.5.4-1 ii mayavi2 4.5.0-1 ii python 2.7.13-2 ii python-matplotlib 2.0.0+dfsg1-2 ii python-numpy [python-numpy-abi9] 1:1.12.0-2 ii python-pyparsing 2.1.10+dfsg1-1 ii python-scipy 0.18.1-2 ii python-sparse 1.1.1-1 ii python-tables 3.3.0-5 pn python:any <none> python-sfepy recommends no packages. python-sfepy suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
