Problem importing bioservices

[Rui Benfeitas]

Hi,

I'm running bioservices 1.8.2 in a conda environment, under python 3.7.12. When I simply try to import it it fails:

>>> import bioservices
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

     41 

TypeError: 'module' object is not iterable

I have tried:

• Installing different versions of bioservices from bioconda and conda-forge;
• Installing bioservices with pip install bioservices
• Installing bioservices 1.7.10, 1.7.11, 1.8.2

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

@Benfeitas

Really sorry that you face this issue. I do not know. It should work out of the box... I am using 3.7.3 for instance. THere are continuous integration for 3.7 ,3.8, 3.9

Now, saying that, it does not help... maybe there is a conflicting version of bioservices ? I know that bioconda moved bioservices to conda-forge recently so I would recommend the conda-forge anyway.

Have you tried from the source code ?

Closes due to lack of activity and probably deprecated by now with newer versions
