kissplice2reftranscriptome installation error

Question

[ewelinarubin]

I am getting an error when installing this package -- kissplice2reftranscritpome-1.3..3

Here is what I have done so far

I downloaded kissplice2reftranscriptome-1.3.3.tar.gz and moved it to my Linux server and then followed the manual

tar zxvf kissplice2reftranscriptome-1.3.3.tar.gz
cd kissplice2reftranscriptome-1.3.3
python setup.py install --user  #(Note -- I do not have root or superuser privileges)

the error that I get is below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 22, in <module>
    cmdclass={'test': TestCommand, 'clean': CleanCommand},
NameError: name 'TestCommand' is not defined

Please use the formatting bar (especially the code option) to present your post better. You can use backticks for inline code (`text` becomes text), or select a chunk of text and use the highlighted button to format it as a code block. I've done it for you this time.

I have the same problems. How to solve it. Thank you!

A version of python 2.7 or more is needed.

Since this package has not had an update, it is possible that python v.2.7 (but not python v.3.x) is needed. Can you show us output you get with python -V?

[lavender_412]

It is Python 3.8.5. Do I need install Python 2.7 again? or how to deal with it. Thank you!

If the tool is only supported under python v.2.x then yes. You may want to create a conda environment for that.
