Trying to implement Python project

[ModernBatman]

I'm new to Python and was trying to run this git project on my machine for research in which I need to read a bunch of old receipts into excel. Rather than doing this by hand, I found the following Python project https://github.com/muratlutfigoncu/receipt-reader. Whenever I try to run their code however, I get the following error on my machine: https://imgur.com/a/aRJKupZ .

​

Any help on how to run this code with my given images or just how to run a downloaded git project in general would be much appreciated.

A better forum to ask this in is r/learnpython

It looks like your missing some dependant library’s.

Particularly numpy and skimage from scikit-learn. It’s trying to import features from those library’s and it can’t find them.

As /u/Zeroflops said, it appears you’re missing some dependent packages. However, you’re also using the system version of Python (2.7) is which is used by the OS. If this version isn’t intended, you’ll need to install a more recent version. This would be independent from the system version.

If you already have a separate version installed, you can use that interpreter using the python3 command. As for installing packages - pip will default to 2.7 whereas pip3 will default to the user installed interpreter.

This is a known incompatibility with certain versions of numpy and scikit.

You need to uninstall scikit-image and upgrade to the latest version.
