ImportError: No module named easydict [closed]

Question

I'm trying to run the demo of py-faster-rcnn based on this github page. I have done all the previous steps. But When I try to run the deo with python ./tools/demo.py --gpu 0 --net vgg16 I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./tools/demo.py", line 17, in
from fast_rcnn.config import cfg
File "/home/hadi/Software/py-faster-rcnn/tools/../lib/fast_rcnn/config.py", line 23, in
from easydict import EasyDict as edict
ImportError: No module named easydict

I have installed easydict with both these commands:

sudo pip install easydict

pip install easydict

Is this related to python path? I have installed both python 2.7 and 3.5. Since then I get all these python related errors. For example I have installed tensorflow for both python 2 and 3. But with python 2 it always says:

No module named tensorflow

How can I fix this?

OS: Ubuntu 16.04

Answer 1

I would suggest trying the following:

First, check if easydict is installed or not On your terminal run:

python

from easydict import EasyDict

If this doesn't give an error then you have easydict installed. I had installed easydict using Anaconda:

conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/auto easydict

Next, if this is working check if you have pip installed (It should have come installed with Anaconda):

which pip

This command should give output as /data/username/anaconda2/bin/pip

If this is the output then pip was installed with anaconda and not apt-get. In this case you should not use sudo while using pip and while running the code.

So, you should try running the code the following way:

bash build/demo.py

after that, if still the issue occurs add this following line to your demo.py file

import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/')
