When running mandelbrot-tensorflow.py

vm@ubuntu:~/tensorflow/tk$ python mandelbrot-tensorflow.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mandelbrot-tensorflow.py", line 8, in <module>
    from IPython.display import clear_output, Image, display
ImportError: No module named IPython.display

[tobigithub]

Solution:

sudo pip install ipython

which leads to error

vm@ubuntu:~/tensorflow/tk$ python mandelbrot-tensorflow.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mandelbrot-tensorflow.py", line 9, in <module>
    import scipy.ndimage as nd
ImportError: No module named scipy.ndimage

[tobigithub]

Solution

sudo pip install scipy

which leads to

Command "/usr/bin/python2.7 -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-p9pAFf/scipy/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-1yH0kh-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-p9pAFf/scipy

This is the common Ubuntu CF. No sane normal person can interpret this error.

Because Ubuntu 13 is EOL (endo of life) the obvious solution

sudo apt-get install python-scipy

leads to

Why let a perfectly fine system die?

Because its Soylent Green Time, every Ubuntu has to die after 9 month, unless its the upper class LTS version. Well its like Windows XP, first it sucks, then it works and then it sucks big.

Another option would be to use Anaconda (python package library) https://www.continuum.io/downloads or this https://conda.anaconda.org/jjhelmus
