Hi there. Running in terminal on a CentOS7 box. I installed libpostal and can use its utilities, and followed instructions to install python bindings (sudo pip install postal), but I get this error when trying to use code examples:

from postal.expand import expand_address ... cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory...

dir(postal) = ['builtins', 'doc', 'file', 'name', 'package', 'path']

I followed the instructions and installed libpostal.

git clone https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal
cd libpostal
./bootstrap.sh
mkdir ~/libpostal-datadir
./configure --datadir=~/libpostal-datadir
make

I ran into issues with language_classifier failing, but downloaded it manually with curl:

curl http://libpostal.s3.amazonaws.com/language_classifier.tar.gz -o ~/libpostal-datadir/libpostal/language_classifier.tar.gz
cd ~/libpostal-datadir/libpostal
tar -xzf language_classifier.tar.gz

I'm able to use the library:

➜  libpostal git:(master) ✗ src/address_parser
Loading models...

Welcome to libpostal's address parser.

Type in any address to parse and print the result.

Special commands:

.language [code] to specify a language
.country [code] to specify a country
.exit to quit the program

> 123 Main Street

Result:

{
  "house_number": "123",
  "road": "main street"
}

> 

But can't install the pypostal package:

I added the location of libpostal.pc to PKG_CONFIG_PATH:

(country-append) ➜  pypostal git:(master) echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH 
/Users/nicole/GitHub/libpostal

However it still fails with the same error. I've also tried cloning this repository and installing with python setup.py install but get the same error. Any help is appreciated!

Hi there: I hit a snag when trying to follow the setup instructions. At the "python setup.py install" step, I got an error message that indicates the compiler can't find libpostal/libpostal.h.

libpostal itself seems to be correctly installed and I'm able to run it from the command line.

I'm running the OSX system version of Python 2.7.10. Before I go mucking with new Python installations or moving directories around, thought I'd post this here. Since no one else has reported this issue, it's probably something stupid on my end...

Here's what I see when I try to run setup.py. It's the same error regardless of whether I preface with sudo:

While parsing address by giving a string it shows Cannot Allocate memory error My Machine Details - RAM 4GB, High End Processor. Help me to get this solved.

Judging from my experience, as well as from the open issues against this repo, the top issue facing newcomers to pypostal is simply installing it.

This PR aims to offer a pure Python installation experience on Linux by building manylinux wheels that bundle the required C libararies. Someone should be able to pip install postal without doing anything else (like building libpostal) and it should just work.

The scripts added here build Python wheels that include the libpostal binaries. It does so by following the template laid out in the PyPA's manylinux demo, except I wrote this against GitHub Actions instead of Travis CI. Travis CI has very low limits on compute usage for public projects, which get exhausted very quickly when building libpostal.

There are several TODOs to complete this work:

• [ ] Figure out a solution for the ~2 GB of model data. Do we a) bundle it in the wheels, b) enable pypostal to dynamically download it, or c) have users download it themselves and simply instruct them to set LIBPOSTAL_DATA_DIR?
• [ ] Cache the Docker image generated when building libpostal on GitHub so that we only incur that cost when bumping the version of libpostal we're targeting. (Note that this Docker image is only used to generate the wheels. The wheels themselves having nothing to do with Docker.)
• [ ] Update the release process to include these newly built wheels.

You can see GitHub Actions successfully running pypostal from these new wheels here, with the model data already provided.

The test step in GitHub Actions, which tries to mimic the workflow of a new user installing pypostal, currently fails because it cannot find the model data. (This is what the TODO I described just above is about.)

Before continuing this work, I'd like to see if the maintainers are interested in the direction this is going in, and if they have some time to offer to shepherd this through to completion. I am also happy to just hand this off to someone else. The pypostal project seems to be in maintenance mode, so I wonder if there is enough energy to make a major packaging change like this.

Trying to run the initial tests documented using >> nosetests postal/tests ERROR: Failure: ImportError (cannot import name '_expand') ERROR: Failure: ImportError (cannot import name '_parser') Any help ?

Not sure what's going on, postal.near_dupe.near_dupe_hashes simply returns an empty list no matter what the inputs are. I'm passing in the labels and values created from the parse_address function

Trying to install in Anaconda Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 16.10:

pip install pypostal Collecting pypostal Downloading pyPostal-1.1.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/tmp/pip-build-it1zbgs0/pypostal/setup.py", line 10, in long_description=codecs.open('README.rst', "r", "utf-8").read(), File "/home/david/anaconda3/envs/py36/lib/python3.6/codecs.py", line 895, in open file = builtins.open(filename, mode, buffering) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.rst'

----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-it1zbgs0/pypostal/

Just began using libpostal and decided to try its python binding.

Whats I immediately noticed is that comparing to the command-line 'src/address_parser' the corresponding python function return a list. Compare:

src/address_parser:

1010 EASY ST OTTAWA K1A 0B1

Result:

{ "house_number": "1010", "road": "easy st", "city": "ottawa", "postcode": "k1a 0b1" }

python postal:

parse('1010 EASY ST OTTAWA K1A 0B1') [(u'1010', u'house_number'), (u'easy st', u'road'), (u'ottawa', u'city'), (u'k1a 0b1', u'postcode')]

I could not find a way to output the data in a more organized, JSON way. What's the reason it's done like that? Is it always guaranteed to have a value as a first element, and a key as a second?

Please advise.

Hi,

I'm trying to set this up to be callable through an apache server on an ubuntu box. I followed the instructions and got everything installed. It seems to work fine when calling the script from Terminal. However, I get the following error in the apache logs when I make a call to apache to execute the script. I believe it might be some pathing issue. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Hi All,

I am trying to build pypostal on Windows and have successfully built the postal.lib but when I attempt to "pip install postal" I get this error. Any ideas on how to fix this please?

Hi Team, I am using windows 11 and while I am running 'pip install pyPostal' on command prompt, getting below error No such file or directory: 'README.rst' kindly look into this if anyone has solution, I have also attached the screenshot of error. Thank You
