I am having an issue when I’m trying to run this set up script on colab for the zombies assignment: !python -m pip install models/research.
I get the following error:
Processing ./models/research

I believe models/research might be a folder/file you need to download from Coursera, not as a pip package. I’m not sure, as I’m not aware of the contents of this specialisation.
Open your assignment, go to File-->Open..., this should open your workspace and you should be able to see the notebook and all the related files/folder. Click on the top right menu (I have forgotten what exactly it is), in order to download all of them.
I hope you are using an updated notebook. If you are after running the installation cell, you will notice a message written in the notebook
You can safely ignore errors about incompatibilities with the PyYAML version after running the cell below.
the only thing you need to follow is this in Import section
Imports
Let’s now import the packages you will use in this assignment.
Note: In Google Colab, you need to restart the runtime to reload the modules you installed in the previous section. Else, you will get an error. You can do so by selecting Runtime > Restart Runtime in the Menu bar. Please do not run the cell below without restarting.
So follow the same and continue with the assignment
Let us know if you are getting stuck in further down the assignment because of the same issue.
Ok so thanks for this reply. so now I’m trying to do the imports for the labels_map_util. would I just do something like from object_detection.utils import labels_map_util? When I do that, I get the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'object detection'. Even when I try to do from models.research.obejct_detection.utils import label_map_util I get the same ModuleNotFoundError. Any help with this would be appreciated. I feel like I’m missing something simple here.
Yes. I did the set up of cloning the repo, creating the setup.py script and then doing !python -m pip install models/research. I get the YaML error, but I know to ignore that. I then went to restart the runtime like it says and then I execute the cell with the imports. Once I get to trying to import the modules from object_detection, I end up getting this error
The post creator/learner is facing the issue metadata-generation-failed as well as subprocess-exited-with-error, so when I had seen your comment on one of the similar thread to ignore as per the instructions given in the assignment as you had mentioned in the updated notebook all the necessary files would be there.
But turns out in the first grader cell where we import label map, we get an error.
I tried myself and I get the same error as srerrie, can you please look into this on how to correct this issue.
I just now run the notebook myself, looks like issue has been resolved. I was able to run the cells successfully, so you should too not have any issue.
