Explain installation of package, dependencies

[nealmcb]

Some more hints in the README on how to pull in the dependencies and run this would be helpful.

So far this worked for me to avoid import errors:

pip install scipy networkx PyQt5

Then, since I don't see a pyproject.toml or setup.py, I just tried to run python from the root directory of the project, as cloned via git.

But I'm guessing that I'm getting different versions than you are, since I get these errors:

Python 3.8.0 (default, Oct 28 2019, 16:14:01)

It looks like I have networkx version 2.5.

Note also that I ran the tests as described at https://github.com/QuantEcon/MatchingMarkets.py/tree/master/tests and they all worked up to Plotting Tests, where I got the same error I noted above.

My PR #8 seems to resolve the API issue.

Now I'm seeing this PULP_CBC_CMD test failure:

Note also that several messages that seem like warnings, simply because I didn't install all the solvers, also come out, e.g.:

Hi,

Sorry about taking so much time to respond. I haven't worked on this project in a while.

I added a setup.py you should be able to run normally. If it sees more use, I can add it to pip without too much trouble.

Try it and running python -m unittest discover test to run the unit test suite and it should work. If it doesn't I'll investigate, thanks.

[nealmcb]

Excellent - thank you!

The updates fixed the error I encountered in testing, and all the tests now pass.

I note that I got what seemed like a more complete test by running FullTest(), which may be worth mentioning some more in the documentation. The FullTest did surface a warning or two, which may or may not be worth some attention.

[run FullTest manually]

(That divide by zero line RuntimeWarning was copied in from a run before my full install, so it may be spurious.)

Thanks again!

[VHRanger]

Yeah that warning is because it would be too long to set up a brute force search that converges in the test suite
