pycocotools PyPI error

[csterling]

setup.py dependency on pycocotools from Github fails with:

ERROR: Packages installed from PyPI cannot depend on packages which
are not also hosted on PyPI.
wai.annotations depends on pycocotools@git+https://github.com/philferriere/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI

[csterling]

Proposed solution:

Fork repo and deploy to PyPI under wai.pycocotools.

I'll fork it under waikato-ufdl and set up teams. Then you can work on it and deploy it.

The fork is available here and csterling should have write access:
https://github.com/waikato-ufdl/cocoapi

[fracpete]

MMDetection maintains their own fork of the COCOAPI repo:
https://github.com/open-mmlab/cocoapi
Check whether this repo works with wai.annotations. If confirmed, then I will recreate the cocoapi UFDL repo, forking from that repo instead. MMDetection does not work with the other repo, as they changed functionality.

[csterling]

The repo does seem to work

[fracpete]

And forked into https://github.com/waikato-ufdl/cocoapi

Implemented in commit 965768b.
