ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Cython'

[Evarln1996]

As indicated in the title, when I run the "pip install libact" command, it says that the cython module is missing, even though it's installed correctly. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, but it doesn't work. I've also changed the version of python 3.6 to python 3.5.4 because I thought there might be an accounting problem, but it still doesn't work.

Do you have any additional error message that can be provided? Can you also check if you can import cython correctly from your Python interpreter (i.e. try python -c "import cython" on your commandline)?

Hello @yangarbiter, thank you for your answer.
When I import cython from my python interpreter, I have no problem:
Python 3.6.8 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Dec 30 2018, 01:22:34)
[GCC 7.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import cython
>>> exit()

On the other hand, as soon as I want to install libact, I get this message:

When I type "pip install -vvv libact" to get more informations, I get that error message :

@yangarbiter can you give me the version of cython and liblapacke-dev? Because I'm having accounting problems

[gscnogueira]

I'm having the same problem, could you find a solution?

[yangarbiter]

Sorry for the late reply. There seems to be something wrong with the wheel building process. One temporary workaround is to download the source code and install from python ./setup.py install. Can you try that and let me know if that works?
