Description

I have just installed xclim with pip and I have tried to run the four lines in the Github README:

import xclim     
import xarray as xr 
ds = xr.open_dataset('myfilename.nc') 
tg = xclim.icclim.TG(ds.tas, freq='YS')

and...

----> 1 tg = xclim.icclim.TG(ds.tas, freq='YS')

AttributeError: module 'xclim' has no attribute 'icclim'

Hi Matteo,

I'm suspecting the release on PyPi to be out of date, sorry about that. Please try to install from master and give it another spin.

@tlogan2000 @Zeitsperre I think this calls for a release and upload on PyPi.

[matteodefelice]

You are right, unfortunately I couldn't install it from source because there is a kind of conflict with my anaconda environment during the installation of bottleneck:

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute '__NUMPY_SETUP__'

then I think I will wait for the PyPI release!

[tlogan2000]

For your info : For an updated pypi release we are simply waiting for an xarray pull release, with some key functionality, that we have submitted to be integrated into their master. see pydata/xarray#2593.

We can then directly include xarray (and not our branch) in the xclim requirement for the PyPI release .
It should not be too long as it is in the final stages...

@matteodefelice

@tlogan2000 is correct, we are almost ready to deploy a working version on PyPI. Once we have stable dependencies and a few more basic indices coded, we'll tag a version that automatically deploys there. The current version on PyPI is simply a parked template to keep the name.

If you are interested in trying it out now. I would make a new environment in conda (conda create -n xclim && conda activate xclim) and follow the source installation directions from there.

@matteodefelice The library now has a beta version available on PyPI. Can you try reinstalling via pip install xclim --upgrade and let us know if the problems persist?

now it works! Great!
