aienvs

Repository for Influence project environments

Requirements

• Ubuntu Linux
• Built version of SUMO (download from sourceforge.net/projects/sumo).
• Add the sumo/tools directory to your pythonpath.
• Set the SUMO_HOME environment variable to point to your sumo directory

Using the library

To use the library, simply add the checkout directory to your PYTHONPATH. You can verify that it succeeded by typing

import aienvs

in the python3 console. No build is needed.

Building the library

If you would like to build the library, you need to have version 40.6.2 or later of setuptools, plus wheel. To ensure, run

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
pip3 install wheel

With that, you can build the library build using

./build.sh

(or sudo ./build.sh depending on your user privileges)

WARNING: It may be that some python libraries need to be installed manually (via pip3 install..), not all dependencies are listed in setup.py yet..

Setting up a venv

Venv preparation usually goes like this

• Create venv (cd aienvs and then python3 -m venv venv)
• Start up venv with source venv/bin/activate
• Install all dependencies with pip install. The list of dependencies is in the setup.py file, check the "install-requires" field.

Using from Eclipse

You can also use the Eclipse IDE to get better editing and debugging support. Setup goes like this

• Follow the venv setup procedure as above (we assume you want to use a venv in PyDev, you can also use it without if you prefer).
• Install PyDev into Eclipse
• Add an interpreter
  • Window/Preferences; go to PyDev/Interpreters/Python Interpreter
  • "Browse for python/pypy exe". Cancel the dialog (it does not work) and instead manually add the path to your python interpreter ......./venv/bin/python
  • In the External Libraries tab, add ..../sumo/tools (tools dir inside your sumo installation).
  • Click ok.
• Set up the python path for Eclipse (it's not automatically recognising it as you would expect)
  • Right click on the aienvs project folder in the package explorer and select PyDev-PYTHONPATH.
  • In the Source Folders tab, add tha aienvs root as source folder
• In your debug/run settings, you may have to add an environment variable SUMO_HOME als pointing to ...../sumo.
