ImportError: No module named openface in windows 8.1

Question

I installed openface in a virtual environment by following these steps.

git clone https://github.com/cmusatyalab/openface
cd openface
python setup.py install

It gave me the following output after executing python setup.py install

running install
running build
running build_py
running install_lib
running install_egg_info
Writing C:\Users\Haneesh\PycharmProjects\Medium\venv\Lib\site-packages\openface-0.2.1-py3.6.egg-info

But when I am importing openface in python it is giving the following error

(venv) C:\Users\Haneesh\PycharmProjects\Medium\openface>.\util\align-dlib.py .\training-images\ align outerEyesAndNose .\aligned-images\ --size 96
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Haneesh\PycharmProjects\Medium\openface\util\align-dlib.py", line 24, in <module>
    import openface
ImportError: No module named openface

I tried importing openface in python console also, didn't work.

Answer 1

Openface as it is, gets installed on python2. You can see this line

python2 setup.py install && \

in the dockerfile

You can however try converting it to python3 with a help of modules like 2to3 or six. At the moment, if it's possible, using python2 is the best option.
