svg2mod.py is not working on Windows #23

jorgegarciamateos · 2018-03-09T18:03:26Z

Hello. I'm new ussing svg2mod.py. I am on Windows 10 and Python 3.6. I cloned your repo and generated a file named "led_array_txt.svg" in inkspace, in a layer named SilkS. I typed in a terminal:

C:\Users\Jorge\Documents\Kicad\svg2mod-master\svg2mod>svg2mod.py -i led_array_txt.svg -p 1 -f 0.94
And the result was:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Jorge\Documents\Kicad\svg2mod-master\svg2mod\svg2mod.py", line 10, in
import svg2mod.svg as svg
File "C:\Users\Jorge\Documents\Kicad\svg2mod-master\svg2mod\svg2mod.py", line 10, in
import svg2mod.svg as svg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'svg2mod.svg'; 'svg2mod' is not a package

Of course, no file .mod was generated. Could you help me, please?

Even if I run:
C:\Users\Jorge\Documents\Kicad\svg2mod-master\svg2mod>svg2mod.py --help
The result is the same:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Jorge\Documents\Kicad\svg2mod-master\svg2mod\svg2mod.py", line 10, in
import svg2mod.svg as svg
File "C:\Users\Jorge\Documents\Kicad\svg2mod-master\svg2mod\svg2mod.py", line 10, in
import svg2mod.svg as svg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'svg2mod.svg'; 'svg2mod' is not a package

I'm lost...

Hi @jorgegarciamateos ,

You first need to run the setup.py script located at the root directory of this project like such:

python setup.py install

Also, @badgeek, this really isn't the place to promote your project.

badgeek · 2018-04-04T01:03:03Z

@kylenahas hi kyle, sorry i thought that this project is not maintained anymore, with much respect i learn a lot from svg2mod

thank you!

EsserPrototyping · 2018-05-07T13:00:22Z

Can somebody give me an example how to execute the script? ..or installation guide?
With the older release it worked by calling "python svg2mod.py" from the svg2mod-master folder.
With the newer release it is missing the svg.py ..and i did not found any way to include it.
I now installed phyton365.. installed the script with "python setup.py install" but now i get the same error as jorgegarciamateos described.
I noticed that after installing the setup there is a svg2mod-script.py in the Scripts-folder.. so i tried to start the script there, but then i get "AttributeError: ´dict´ object has no attribute ´iteritems´ "
I dont know much about python and sorry for spamming this post. Im shure its my fault but i need to get this working again..

Also having a lot of trouble with this, and I'm running via Terminal on Mac OSX 10.11.6.

Here are the various methods I attempted:

SETUP.PY method

After running python setup.py install trying to run svg2mod.py fails with the error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'svg2mod.svg'; 'svg2mod' is not a package

PIP method

Tried to install via PIP: pip install git+https://github.com/mtl/svg2mod

Installation is successful, but trying to run the binary on the provided example svg also fails:

$ svg2mod -i dt-logo.svg

The commits in PR #18 rearranged the folder structure and changed how the svg module was imported in svg2mod.py.

However with both install methods the SVG dependency appears to be broken, or there is some additional documentation missing around how to install this properly.

zirafa · 2018-05-09T18:00:42Z

I've narrowed down the issue to Python version. Currently svg2mod is only compatible with Python2 environments. If you are running Python3, svg2mod in its current form will not work due to the deprecation of the following methods:

Built-in changes for Python 3:

Remove dict.iteritems(), dict.iterkeys(), and dict.itervalues().
    Instead: use dict.items(), dict.keys(), and dict.values() respectively.

After updating these methods in svg2mod.py and svg.py, I was able to get the script to work, but only when installed via pip3. Manually building via setup.py install still fails...

I created a fork that is compatible with python3 here if anybody wants to try it, and opened a separate issue about the svg dependency problem.

@boelle The reason that method doesn't work is detailed in #24. For python2 you can try installing via pip or pip2 command: pip2 install git+https://github.com/mtl/svg2mod

A summary of current python & installation problems can be found in #33.

boelle · 2019-01-17T21:50:14Z

i will read those 2, but i asume your suggestions are meant for windows?

boelle · 2019-01-17T21:51:56Z

btw running python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:53:40)
i think its installed as a part of inkscape or some of the other programs i installed

zirafa · 2019-01-17T21:58:17Z

@boelle for python 2.7 try running pip install git+https://github.com/mtl/svg2mod

boelle · 2019-01-17T22:00:56Z

not right syntax

boelle · 2019-01-17T22:02:20Z

remember i'm on windows and not linux

zirafa · 2019-01-17T22:31:21Z

You want to run that in your shell command prompt, not in Python. If it still doesn't work, you may need to install pip.

boelle · 2019-01-17T22:39:25Z

hehe, there should be an online thing for this, much less trouble for the user

this will be a task for tomorrow

ghost · 2019-09-19T21:21:00Z

It would be nice to add the "python setup.py install" command to the documentation. I mean, how everyone is supposed to know ?

ghost · 2019-09-19T21:24:27Z

Also, the line "import svg2mod.svg as svg" crashes.
It works if I copy the files from the "svg/svg" folder to the same folder as the svg2mod.py, then replacing the import line by "import svg".
Simple enough.
