No module named chess #38
Description
No matter how I try to run it, I get the same issue. I am probably missing something obvious... although I've read the readme and I can't see what I am missing.
After having downloaded and unzipped the repo (and not installed using pip, and then following the readme, typing chs obviously will not work, nor will ./chs, as chs is a directory. Assuming the read me actually means chs.py, then
% python2 chs.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "chs.py", line 3, in <module>
import chs.__main__
File "/Users/macbook/Downloads/chs-master/chs/__main__.py", line 3, in <module>
import chess
ImportError: No module named chess```
and for Python 3
```none
% python3 chs.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/macbook/Downloads/chs-master/chs.py", line 3, in <module>
import chs.__main__
File "/Users/macbook/Downloads/chs-master/chs/__main__.py", line 3, in <module>
import chess
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chess'
Resorting to running make, that the README makes no mention of, gives:
% make
=-=- Running app -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 🚀
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/macbook/Downloads/chs-master/chs.py", line 3, in <module>
import chs.__main__
File "/Users/macbook/Downloads/chs-master/chs/__main__.py", line 3, in <module>
import chess
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chess'
make: *** [run] Error 1
IMHO, I think that the README needs updating, or clarifying. Maybe list the module dependancies? Is chess some other third-party chess-module, that is well known in the chess community, but one that mere mortals, who are not grand-masters, are not generally aware of?
Note: I just downloaded the zip and unzipped it. I have not run python3 -m pip install chs. This could be (probably is) the issue.
Note: After trying the pip install method I noticed the following line, which is, presumably, the chess that chs is looking for.:
Downloading python_chess-1.999-py3-none-any.whl (1.4 kB)
However, if I do try to install via pip then I encounter [Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects ╰─> editdistance #37]{https://github.com/nickzuber/chs/issues/37}
