Spatialmath import broken

[max99689]

Trying to import the "base" attribute of the "spatialmath" module gives me an error message. I am trying to import it using the following statement at the beginning of a jupyter notebook: import spatialmath.base as tr

The error message is: `--------------------------------------------------------------------------- AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) in ----> 1 import spatialmath.base

Some more information about the issue above:

• the error only appears on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with Python 3.6.9)
• it is working with Windows 10 and Python 3.9.2

@max99689 Did you try the latest version of the master branch? It should be fixed in 87cabfe.

[petercorke]

Is this resolved?

[max99689]

Installing it using pip still results in the same error, but including the files from the master branch of the repository fixes the issue.

I had the same problem

[petercorke]

Do you have the same setup as @max99689 ?

[Gaspard-Bourgeois]

To be exact, we tried with 3 differents computers configured in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with Python 3.6.9, it was not working even in a venv environment. And eveything was fine in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Python3.8

I think the issue here is not complicated. The current master branch already contains the patch #53 that should resolve the import problem, but the current version on pypi doesn't yet.

In my opinion, maybe publishing a new version to pypi can make users easier to use this project with Python 3.6.

Running into this problem with 3.6 on ubuntu 20.04. Agree with @StephLin that the PyPI package needs updating

[petercorke]

sorry to have been slow here. A version of current master branch is now on PyPI.
