Add support of PEP 518 to avoid issue with numpy during installation
savmickael opened this issue · comments
What version of pyhdf, HDF4, and Python are you using?
pyhdf version: 0.10.1
HDF4 C library version: 4.2.10-3.2
Python version: 2.7.12
What operating system are you using?
Ubuntu 16.04, x64
What did you do?
Run pip install pyhdf from an empty virtualenv or run pip install -r requirement.file with pyhdf and numpy inside.
What did you expect to see?
Right installation
What did you see instead?
Error because numpy is not previously installed or numpy not installed before pyhdf through the requirement file. Therefore I need to install manually numpy before.
The PEP 518 is now here to solve this type of issue by defined requirement for build system.
I've encountered the same problem.
Does PR #38 fix the issue?
