EOF error in python 2.7 (not in python 3.5)

See original GitHub issue

I got an error when running consoleLabel on Jupyter notebook (my Jupyter version is 4.1.0) using Python 2.7 as follows.

dedupe.consoleLabel(deduper)

Here is an error:

EOFError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-41-5f16b23568e5> in <module>()
----> 1 dedupe.consoleLabel(deduper)

~/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dedupe/convenience.pyc in consoleLabel(deduper)
     55             while not valid_response:
     56                 print('(y)es / (n)o / (u)nsure / (f)inished', file=sys.stderr)
---> 57                 label = input()
     58                 if label in ['y', 'n', 'u', 'f']:
     59                     valid_response = True

EOFError: EOF when reading a line

I’m wondering if there is an error for others who use Python 2.7 also. Or, the error is raised because of Jupyter notebook. I see no error when using Python 3.5.

All good. I ended up getting it to work by basically doing exactly what you suggested by replacing line 4 with:

try:
    input = raw_input
except NameError:
    pass

Thanks!

Hello @nateyoder! it has been quite a while on this issue. I don’t remember how I solved an issue actually. I’m not sure if changing convenience.py#L56 from input to raw_input will help solve the problem or not. In this case, you might have to download dedupe, fix L56, and use setup.py in order to install the library.
