Hi,
I am trying to use torchaudio on Ubuntu and get the following exception:

>>> import torchaudio

sox is already the newest version.

Any idea what went wrong?

Thanks!

you installed torchaudio, but you are running python from a folder where there is a subfolder called torchaudio, so that is being picked up instead.you can change your folder and try again.

cd ..
python
import torchaudio

[felixkreuk]

changed folders, exception changed to:

>>> import torchaudio
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/torchaudio/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/torchaudio/_ext/th_sox/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
ImportError: No module named _th_sox

I'll check in a bit, but here's a workaround.

pip uninstall torchaudio
# go to audio source 
python setup.py build develop

I think that should work

[felixkreuk]

Thanks, but I still keep getting:

>>> import torchaudio
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/jkeshet/felix/audio/torchaudio/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    from ._ext import th_sox
  File "/home/jkeshet/felix/audio/torchaudio/_ext/th_sox/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
    from ._th_sox import lib as _lib, ffi as _ffi
ImportError: No module named _th_sox

Edit: ok, for some odd reason, tried to change location of source folder and then your workaround worked. Thanks!

[ekshaks]

In torchaudio/_ext/th_sox/__init__.py
modifying line
._th_sox import lib as _lib, ffi as _ffi
to
from .._th_sox import lib as _lib, ffi as _ffi

will get it to work.
Not sure what overwrites the line back when you run python setup.py.

Was this ever solved? The solutions don't seem to work for me

[poppingtonic]

changing folders helped

Edit: ok, for some odd reason, tried to change location of source folder and then your workaround worked. Thanks!

Since this appears to have been resolved, I will close this issue. Please feel free to reopen or create a new one it if it is not the case.
