Spyder IDE inside Anaconda3 installation of opticspy-0.2.1 module error

After many times I've tried installing opticspy as what the instructions written on its documentation page, this pops up Command 

"python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in

C:\Users\[PC Name]\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-3xlemy6i\unwrap\ .

Also, when I downloaded the wheel file of the opticspy(opticspy-0.2.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl) , it successfully installed (as what the anaconda prompt says), but when I tried to import it on Spyder, it says.. 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-3-824cab08504e>", line 1, in <module>
    import opticspy

    import diffraction as __diffraction__

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'diffraction'

Can someone help me? I really need this package for our Project Study. Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • The eggs/source code at PyPI seems to be buggy. The code at Github repository seems to be better but lacks setup.py. A broken and abandoned package.

    You can try to clone https://github.com/Sterncat/opticspy and put it into site-packages/ directory manually. If you apply PR 21 yourself you get missed setup.py so you can run pip install . or python setup.py install.
