Unable to install Kyotocabinet with Python3

Question

I am installing Kyotocabinet for Python3. The commands that I ran were:

wget http://fallabs.com/kyotocabinet/pkg/kyotocabinet-1.2.76.tar.gz
tar xzvf kyotocabinet-1.2.76.tar.gz
cd kyotocabinet-1.2.76
./configure && make && make install # takes a couple of minutes

This was followed by: pip3 install kyotocabinet

It was successful. However, running a script which includes from kyotocabinet import *:

aviral@sc:~/dev/data-file-handling$ python3 kyoto_learning.py

Traceback (most recent call last): File "kyoto_learning.py", line 1, in

from kyotocabinet import * ImportError: libkyotocabinet.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Answer 1

For anyone still looking for the answer, you can install kyotocabinet via apt-get for python3 using this command

sudo apt-get install -y python3-kyotocabinet
