Python

Hi,

This package looks to be very promising, thanks for sharing. I'm encountering an issue with installation, however, and wonder whether this is specific to Python 3 (searching for the error code suggests it), and if so, whether it can be resolved. The error code:
TypeError: chown() missing 1 required positional argument: 'numeric_owner'

Best,

Hello,
I replicated your issue and was able to install pycasp on OSX El Capitan with a few hacks

• First, please use this patch for setup.py when installing with python 3.5
  https://github.com/amit4111989/pycasp/blob/master/setup.patch.
  I have commented out the distribute_setup.py line and the subsequent distribute_setup.use_setuptools() line because this is the main source of the chown() issue and is quite unnecessary.
  It tries to store and use the /tmp folder which requires root level permissions. I tried changing the permissions on /tmp but that did not help, so the best option was to just comment it out
• Numpy 1.11 is perfectly fine , and is recommended because Numpy 1.6.1 is not supported by python3.5 (yet).
  When trying to install pycasp on ubuntu , I was unable to proceed with the installation because the setup wanted numpy 1.6.1 On mac however, I was able to proceed with numpy 1.11
  Here is a requirements.txt file for your reference
  https://github.com/amit4111989/pycasp/blob/master/requirements.txt
• If you have numpy, scipy and the patch I recommended, you will still get the chown() error at one point because of the asp dependency.
  pycasp requires asp-1.2.0+ which calls distribute_setup.py and causes the chown() error again.
  Here's how to avoid it

1. [git clone https://github.com/shoaibkamil/asp](git clone https://github.com/shoaibkamil/asp)
2. edit the setup.py file and comment out the lines I mentioned in point 1
3. run python3.5 setup.py install manually
4. run install again for pycasp

I notice that you are using anaconda. I am not sure if you are installing scipy and numpy via conda or not. I think it is unecessary. I just did abrew install python3and used pip3.5 and python3.5 for all my installations

here's my fork for your reference

Note : I tried to install pycasp on ubuntu with python3.5 and failed miserably. Just wanted to share this info for anyone trying and failing w/ Ubuntu 14.04
