h5py: no-binary h5py missing attributes, e.g. __version__
- Operating System Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
- Python version 3.10.6
- Where Python was acquired: system Python
- h5py version 3.8.0
- HDF5 version 1.10.7
- The full traceback/stack trace shown (if it appears)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'h5py' has no attribute '__version__'
Due to conflicting versions of h5py and hdf5, I am forced to build the no-binary version of h5py, just to get pass the error
Warning! ***HDF5 library version mismatched error***
which causes my program to crash. However, after building the no-binary version, it then fails for a different reason, claiming it’s missing the File attribute. It is not the only attribute it’s missing, as I write above, also the __version__ and version atributes are missing.
Is this a problem on my end? Or an issue with the no-binary version?

if anyone will be stumbling here even after upgrading pip, make sure to also upgrade
setuptools! On the Ubuntu 22.04 I had:and I was getting the same issue (only libraries installed) even after upgrading pip. So make sure to do
pip install --upgrade setuptools pip!I would make sure you have the build requirements in your working environment, then do
until you find a version that works. You could also change the pinning in pyproject.toml and rebuild to the same effect.
by “shell”, I think Thomas meant “Python or IPython shell”. I agree that it is likely something is snarled with your local installations (particually if you ended up with a
--userinstall in.local. I suggest at least clearing that out.Can you provide some more details about how you did the installation and the full traceback?
Other guesses of what is going wrong are:
sudo pip install ...which is almost never a good idea
