Python cseabreeze works on Mac but not on Windows

Question

Python cseabreeze works on Mac but not on Windows

hari-pad opened this issue 3 years ago · 8 comments

spectrometer and system information

model: HR4000
operating system: Windows 10 64 bit
python version: python 3.9.1
python-seabreeze version: current master
installed-via: pip

current problem

I downloaded and installed python-seabreeze with the default cseabreeze backend, exactly following the instructions on the website. The install seems to have worked on my Macbook (M1 chip, Monterey 12.0.1), but not on my Windows. I then tried to install it with the pyseabreeze backend on my Windows, and that seems to work, but cannot list devices.

steps to reproduce

I uninstalled python-seabreeze, cleared the cache.
Installed python-seabreeze with the default cseabreeze backend using pip.
Ran seabreeze_os_setup.exe. This failed to install some driver packages (see below).
Restarted the computer.
Tried to import Spectrometer, list_devices, at which point it says seabreeze can't load 'cseabreeze'.
Repeated step 1.
Installed python-seabreeze with the pyseabreeze backend using pip.
Repeated steps 3 and 4, with the same results.
Tried to import Spectrometer, list_devices - seems to work, no errors.
Tried to use list_devices - doesn't work.

minimal code example and error

Installing seabreeze:

pip install seabreeze ##works without any issues, so output not included here
seabreeze_os_setup

I'd be grateful for any help you can offer with this! I am not partial towards the C or Python backend, I would just like to get it working on Windows. Great package, I appreciate all the work.

Answer 1 · 2022-01-19T16:57:50.000Z

Hi @hari-pad

Can you try installing:

pip install seabreeze==1.3.0

and report back? Maybe there's an issue in the v2.0.0 release on windows.

Cheers,
Andreas 😃

  ERROR: Failed building wheel for seabreeze
Failed to build seabreeze
ERROR: Could not build wheels for seabreeze, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I haven't encountered this error before - is this just a matter of installing the latest version of Visual C++?

Best wishes,
Hari

Answer 3 · 2022-01-19T17:11:14.000Z

Interesting. I assumed I was shipping wheels for python3.9 for windows, but it looks like I wasn't. So let's try to fix it another way.

First:

can you try doing the following:

pip install seabreeze==2.0.0
python --version --version
python -c "import seabreeze.cseabreeze._wrapper"

And report back

And second:

Can you try installing Python 3.8 and with python 3.8 try pip install seabreeze==1.3.0 and see if that works. That would allow us to rule out if it's a problem with the 2.0.0 version of seabreeze on windows.

Answer 4 · 2022-01-19T17:29:37.000Z

Answer 5 · 2022-01-19T17:32:36.000Z

Okay, so the new wheels on windows are broken. I'll try to fix that.

But in the second test you still seem to be testing against Python3.9 c:\program files\python39\python.exe

Answer 6 · 2022-01-19T18:24:20.000Z

Apologies, I am still very much a Python rookie. I'm (apparently successfully) running Python 3.8 as the interpreter on VS Code but as you pointed out, it still seems to be using Python 3.9 - let me work on fixing this.

Meanwhile I found something interesting has happened with the Python 3.9 -

Without the spectrometer plugged in -

import seabreeze
seabreeze.use('pyseabreeze')
from seabreeze.spectrometers import list_devices, Spectrometer

devices = list_devices()
print(devices)

[]

This seems promising, it's the first time it worked. However -

With the spectrometer plugged in -

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\THz-RED\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\seabreeze\pyseabreeze\api.py", line 53, in _seabreeze_device_factory

    o = self.data[key]()
KeyError: (9303, 4114, 1, 9)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise RuntimeError("no protocol instance available")
RuntimeError: no protocol instance available

I also tried rebooting the system and VS Code but get the same result as above.

I will report back as soon as I can figure out how to successfully install python-seabreeze 1.3.0 with Python 3.8, I appreciate your patience.

Answer 7 · 2022-01-20T11:06:07.000Z

Hi @hari-pad

Your issue should be fixed in the new hotfix release v2.0.1.
Please try

pip install -U seabreeze
# this should install seabreeze==2.0.1

(On any of the supported python versions, so: 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, or 3.10)

If this resolves the issue feel free to close.
Let me know how things go.

Cheers,
Andreas 😃

Answer 8 · 2022-01-20T18:44:13.000Z

Andreas,

This seems to work! I am able to install it and then detect my instrument with no issues.

Thank you so much for the help and the fix, I appreciate it.

Best wishes,
Hari
