Skbio python module to support python 2

Question

I have python 2 installed on my machine. I want to use the skbio module for some part of my code. I tried installing skbio (pip install scikit-bio) but it says it does not support python 2 it is only available in python 3. I even tried importing skbio from future in my code but it did not work. Is there any way out I can install and use skbio module for my python 2 version?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

scikit-bio dropped Python 2 support in version 0.5.0 and is now only compatible with Python 3.4+. Versions 0.4.2 and earlier are Python 2/3 compatible, so you could try out an older version:

pip install scikit-bio==0.4.2
