"No module named '_lightfm_fast_no_openmp'" on a Macbook pro-2017

[hixtc]

How do you solve the following thing that has happened on a MacBook pro-2017 (the computer is with version 10.15.3 Mac OS Catalina):
When run a program in the 'lightfm' file, say 'lightfm_fast.py', the spyder (in Python 3.7.0) raises that: "No module named '_lightfm_fast_no_openmp'"?

So, What shall people do?

I appreciate someone who can help!

Try to install the lib without openmp:
Set the property use_openmp in setup.py to False and install again.

lightfm/setup.py

Line 147 in 1f3f35d

use_openmp = not sys.platform.startswith('darwin') and not sys.platform.startswith('win')

This could make the train process more slow, but should work

Same issue here, both on MacOS M1 and on Ubuntu 20.04. Tried above recommendation without success.

This seems related to the issues here: scikit-learn/scikit-learn#19137. The download seems to fail when installing the dependency on scipy.

@AndrewRPorter Any solution around it?
