KaHIP with Python in Windows

[carrie-CA]

I’m having trouble importing the KaHIP module in python and I’m wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction.

Here’s where I’m at:

• I’m using Anaconda3 and Spyder with Python 3.8
• I’ve successfully run “pip install pybind11” in Anaconda
• I’ve downloaded KaHIP from github and I’ve opened both callkahipfrompython.py and kahip.cpp in Spyder
• I tried running “compile_withcmake.sh BUILDPYTHONMODULE” in Anaconda, and I briefly see another command window open and close, but there isn’t any output printed in the Anaconda window
• When I try to run callkahipfrompython.py in Spyder it says “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kahip'”
• When I try to run “pip install kahip” in Anaconda it says:
  ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement kahip
  ERROR: No matching distribution found for kahip

With other modules I usually have a .whl file that I can install. Is there something like that for KaHIP or something else I am missing?

Thank you in advance for any advice you might have!

Dear Carrie,

did you actually manage to compile KaHIP on Windows? It is currently not supported. This could explain the missing module isse. Could you try to run kaffpa using one of the example graphs?

Hi Christian, I have not compiled KaHIP, but I am not sure how to do it. With Python I just install .whl files and import modules. I’m not sure how I would go about compiling the code. Do I need to install some sort of C++ compiler? Thanks, Carrie Carrie Schulman (she/her) Project Specialist

The main problem is that likely that KaHIP is not supported on Windows atm. A first step would be to get KaHIP to run on Windows (for this you would need at least a C++ compiler). This will create a library with the Python interface uses. Sorry that I dont have better news. Best Christian

Thanks for the information. I’m looking into getting access to a linux server. Carrie Schulman (she/her) Project Specialist
