Tensorflow textsum error of Versioning

Question

I am trying to convert the training text file to bin file for training the textsum of tensorflow. But I encountered the following error:

$ python textsum/data_convert_example.py --command text_to_binary --in_file data/tt.txt --out_file data/bin_data_train
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "textsum/data_convert_example.py", line 12, in <module>

    self._semantic = self._get_version_from_pkg_resources()

    result_string = packaging.get_version(self.package)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pbr/packaging.py", line 755, in get_version
    name=package_name))
Exception: Versioning for this project requires either an sdist tarball, or access to an upstream git repository. It's also possible that there is a mismatch between the package name in setup.cfg and the argument given to pbr.version.VersionInfo. Project name mock was given, but was not able to be found.

Kindly help me. I am using tensorflow 1.2.0 with python 2.7.2.

You must have a problem with your install.

Please try the following commands:

pip install --upgrade mock pip install --upgrade distribute

If it does not work, you should give us more details about how you installed tensorflow (pip? conda? clone & setup.py?) and try to reinstall from scratch.

Hope it helps

I only got this tensorflow error when distributing using pyinstaller, does the error come from an old mock or distribute version? Upgrade mock and distribute doesn't help, but clearly its grabbing some wrong combination. – bw4sz Sep 22 '17 at 17:00

I had the same issue (however not related to tensorflow) and in my case updating setuptools was the fix. I've found the suggestion here: https://github.com/testing-cabal/mock/issues/314

Before update I had setuptools 0.6c11 and I've updated to latest 39.2.0.

pip install --upgrade setuptools

or actually in my case I had to download and install locally since production server has no connection to internet:

pip download setuptools

pip install setuptools-39.2.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
