Difficulties installing CAD_to_OpenMC with Python3.12

victordgehm opened this issue 9 months ago · 12 comments

Inside a conda environment running python3.12 and installing from pip:
pip install CAD_to_OpenMC
I get the following error:

    File "/home/nuclear/anaconda3/envs/openmc-env/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 963, in run_command
      super().run_command(command)
    File "/home/nuclear/anaconda3/envs/openmc-env/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/dist.py", line 988, in run_command
      cmd_obj.run()
    File "/tmp/pip-install-nl43z7pg/nlopt_373ac090b3584b99a65e173f5a2539ec/setup.py", line 28, in run

      nlopt_py = next(Path(self.build_temp).rglob("nlopt.py"))
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  StopIteration
  [end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for nlopt
Running setup.py clean for nlopt
Failed to build nlopt
ERROR: Could not build wheels for nlopt, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I tried to compile nlopt on its own, but the error persist.

Erik Bergbäck Knudsen suggested to create the conda environment with python3.9 and retry. It did work. However it should be investigated why the nopt library won't install with the newer version of python

@victordgehm I am investigating this - but I am having a little trouble reproducing the problem. Which platform are you on? I've tried setting up a python 3.12 environment and things seems to work fine there at least. Next to try is to reproduce your platform in a VM I think.

Answer 2 · 2024-02-26T13:55:28.000Z

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.3. I supposed that anything working on Debian would work here El lun, 26 feb 2024 a las 3:37, Erik B Knudsen ***@***.***>) escribió:

I'd think so too - but now I know what I should try to reproduce. Thank you!

Hello Erik, I think I know what happened. I think I used the wrong step file. When I first installed the zpre github repository and tried to run the shell script it said that it couldn't find the "./step_files/zpre_simplified_with_gold.step" file in step_to_h5m_zpre.py. So I change the name to the step file zpre_simplified.step, so I suppose this created the holes in the mesh I am now trying with the zpre.step file instead to see if this solves the problem Cheers El lun, 26 feb 2024 a las 15:52, Erik B Knudsen ***@***.***>) escribió:

Hi Victor, Yes - those gold foils can be a problem at times. I am looking into the issues with the zpre-model these days. I hope to figure it out soon. One known problem is all the venting holes in the Be-reflector. They were never really used, but are a big problem for the meshing algorithm. This could be modelled by lowering the density of the reflector material somewhat. Of course that is an approximation - but it would be easier to handle. Please let me know how you get on with the simpler model. cheers Erik

This bug is confirmed on ubuntu 22.04 with python 3.12.

Answer 7 · 2024-03-04T15:12:03.000Z

For now it seems required to stay at python < 3.11

Answer 8 · 2024-03-04T15:51:52.000Z

Ok, thanks for the update. El lun, 4 de mar de 2024, 9:12 a. m., Erik B Knudsen < ***@***.***> escribió:

Answer 9 · 2024-03-05T10:24:25.000Z

I will report the nlopt-problem upstream to get it fixed.

Answer 10 · 2024-03-20T15:09:48.000Z

The nlopt people are working on it (the python 3.12 issue), and should be very close to completion. I was able to monkeypatch a few files and get it to install on ubuntu+python3.12.

Answer 11 · 2024-09-17T07:49:48.000Z

It appears that the above problem has been fixed - now 3.12 complains with a different issue:"ImportError: cannot import name 'zoom' from 'ezdxf' "
which is imported by the chain cadquery -> .occ_impl.exporters -> .dxf.exportDXF,DxfDocument

Answer 12 · 2024-09-17T07:50:11.000Z

waiting for an upstream fix to this
