How to install seasnake, the software that converts C++ code into Python?

Question

I went to this GitHub page to install seasnake.

I tried pip install seasnake but got this error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement seasnake (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for seasnake.

I have been looking for answers for two hours now on the web, but nothing helped me.

Answer 1

You are getting this error because file is not present in pypi. Hence you need to build from source code.

Steps to Install in Ubuntu

1. Compile Sealang as mentioned in the git(https://github.com/pybee/sealang)
   • sudo apt-get install libclang-3.6 clang-3.6 -y
   • sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev -y
   • export LLVM_HOME=/usr/lib/llvm-3.6
   • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LLVM_HOME/lib
   • pip install sealang
2. Compile Seasnake
   • sudo python ./setup.py install

Now you would be able to use Seasnake. Cheers
