Issue with Running Strainy - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flye.six.moves'

[GuillermoIllan]

Dear maintainers,

I encountered an issue while trying to run the strainy program after following the installation instructions provided in the repository. Below are the steps I followed:

git clone https://github.com/katerinakazantseva/strainy
cd strainy
git submodule update --init
make -C submodules/Flye
conda env create -f environment.yml -n strainy

However, when I attempt to run the program using the command ./strainy.py -h, I receive the following error:

Matplotlib is building the font cache; this may take a moment. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/guillermo/software/strainy/./strainy.py", line 29, in <module> main() File "/home/guillermo/software/strainy/./strainy.py", line 24, in main import strainy.main File "/home/guillermo/software/strainy/strainy/main.py", line 11, in <module> from strainy.phase import phase_main File "/home/guillermo/software/strainy/strainy/phase.py", line 15, in <module> from strainy.flye_consensus import FlyeConsensus File "/home/guillermo/software/strainy/strainy/flye_consensus.py", line 22, in <module> from flye.main import _run_polisher_only File "/home/guillermo/software/strainy/submodules/Flye/flye/main.py", line 19, in <module> import flye.polishing.alignment as aln File "/home/guillermo/software/strainy/submodules/Flye/flye/polishing/alignment.py", line 18, in <module> import flye.utils.fasta_parser as fp File "/home/guillermo/software/strainy/submodules/Flye/flye/utils/fasta_parser.py", line 26, in <module> from flye.six.moves import range ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flye.six.moves'

It seems that there is an issue with the Flye submodule, specifically a missing module flye.six.moves.

Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your help and for maintaining this project!

Best regards,

Hello,

This is due to Flye failing to install with Python 3.12: mikolmogorov/Flye#669. The best solution for now is using an earlier version of python - or alternatively try the provided docker container. We are aiming to fix this in the future on the Flye side.

In fact, just pushed an update - I think it should work with 3.12 now.

Thank you so much! The problem is solved and strainy is working properly.
