PyICU in python 3 error : ImportError: libicui18n.so.58

问题

As I'm doing a project for non-english (Sinhala) language I need to sort the words in unicode.

So I followed answer in this question and installed PyICU in a conda environment which I have already installed tensorflow and NLTK.

Now in python console (in Pycharm) when use import icu and execute the code I'm getting this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pankaja/PycharmProjects/teamspark/testing/sinhalasort.py", line 1, in <module>
    import icu
  File "/home/pankaja/anaconda3/envs/tensorflow/lib/python3.5/site-packages/icu/__init__.py", line 37, in <module>
    from _icu import *
ImportError: libicui18n.so.58: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Why is that ? Is there any possibility that PyICU can't be used in a conda environment ?

回答1:

Installing pyicu from the conda-forge channel can be achieved by adding conda-forge to your channels with:

conda config --add channels conda-forge

Once the conda-forge channel has been enabled, pyicu can be installed with:

conda install pyicu

this solves the problem and it will install pyicu with dependencies

You need to install libicu. On centos, just run

yum install libicu
