python-sparse: ImportError: No module named sparse (from pysparse.sparse import spmatrix)

Asked by numpy.problem@gmail.com on 2012-04-10

I am having trouble installing pysparse on ubuntu. I installed the package python-sparse, but when running the example code found in the documentation

    from pysparse.sparse import spmatrix
    from pysparse.direct import superlu
    import numpy
    n = 100
    A = poisson2d_sym_blk(n)
    b = numpy.ones(n*n)
    x = numpy.empty(n*n)
    LU = superlu.factorize(A.to_csr(), diag_pivot_thresh=0.0)
    LU.solve(b, x)

I get the error message

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "sparse2.py", line 1, in <module>
        from pysparse.sparse import spmatrix
    ImportError: No module named sparse

I have also tried running

    $ pip install pysparse
    Requirement already satisfied: pysparse in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
    Installing collected packages: pysparse
    Successfully installed pysparse

Why does the example code from the documentation not work?

Thanks!

I am having a hard time understanding you since your English is not very good. Is there an answer to my question somewhere in your reply?

thanks

no there is no answer .. sorry for my english.

i asked you info about your ubuntu
paste output of commands

lsb_release -a; uname -a

path for latest pysparse : http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/pysparse

you can add this to /etc/apt/lists

then try

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pysparse

thanks
