Error installing fls-bioinformatics-core/GFFUtils

Question

[deane]

I have read the instructions and search the internet but I can find no help for this one. I suspect its new. I used these two commands:

pip2 install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fls-bioinformatics-core/GFFUtils/master/requirements.txt
pip2 install git+https://github.com/fls-bioinformatics-core/GFFUtils.git

The first one ran without an error. The second gave this:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement genomics-bcftbx (from GFFUtils==0.10.0) (from versions: )

No matching distribution found for genomics-bcftbx (from GFFUtils==0.10.0)

I am running Python 2.7.14 :: Anaconda, Inc. Running Ubuntu 18.04 64bit

Also, there seems to be much confusion on the forums about "gffutils" from Daler hosted here: https://pypi.org/project/gffutils/#description

Thanks for any help.

It works fine if you don't try to pip-install directly from github (but my python is the system's python, not conda's):

git clone https://github.com/fls-bioinformatics-core/GFFUtils
cd GFFUtils/
pip2 install -r requirements.txt
pip2 install .

You can probably open a ticket reporting the issue.
