Python 3.6 install error

[woj-evan]

Hello,
I was recently trying to install this package in Python 3.6 but was running into some minor errors when installing. Looking into the issue I found that it was due to a change in distutils over previous versions, where ConfigParser (in older distutils) was renamed into RawConfigParser. All I did was locally change the following lines in setup.py

Original:

conf = config.ConfigParser()

Changed:

try:
    conf = config.ConfigParser()
except:
    conf = config.RawConfigParser()

This fixed my issue; not sure if any others have had this same issue, but it is a fairly simple fix and if you could fix it now in the raw it would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Continued issues:
Apologies for not being as detailed in my previous post, but aside from installing the package I've had some issues with simply importing the package in Python 3.6. I cannot do anything with the package as of now. In an IPython window, typing

import scimes

returns an ImportError,

/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scimes-0.2.0-py3.6.egg/scimes/__init__.py in <module>()
     15 # For egg_info test builds to pass, put package imports here.
     16 if not _ASTROPY_SETUP_:
---> 17     from scimes import SpectralCloudstering

ImportError: cannot import name 'SpectralCloudstering'

I'm currently in the process of investigating, but any help would be appreciated.

It seems to load okay if the line in init.py that reads
from scimes import SpectralCloudstering
is changed to
from .scimes import SpectralCloudstering

@tonywong94 could you submit that fix as a PR?

[tonywong94]

Not really git savvy, sorry. Will bug Dario. I know how to do that!

Just so you know, this still seems to be an issue. Fixed it for my system using the steps above...

I faced these as well today. The suggested fix works. I have added a PR

I'm reviving this because I'm having trouble installing (on Python 3.7.5), I get the following error:

AttributeError: module 'distutils.config' has no attribute 'ConfigParser'

Should be solved by f59b619, thanks for re-raising this @afmcl
