openmin dependency fails,...

[Selur]

I'm trying to setup vs_deepdeinterlace in a portable Vapoursynth&Python 3.12 environment (here's how I do the setup: setup.md
Problem is that python -m pip install -U openmim
fails:

Any advice how to fix this to install vs_deepdeinterlace?
(There were similar issued with https://github.com/HolyWu/vs-basicvsrpp in the past, but there it was fixed by working around the mmc dependency.)

Hey! Sorry about that, I've run into the same issue recently when trying to install it in a portable vapoursynth/python and couldn't find a workaround so far unfortunately. Openmim and mmcv can be surprisingly tricky to get working if the system is not configured in a very standard way. But at least the DDD and DeF deinterlacers will work without it.

I'll try to look into it again next week. Do you know if there was a workaround when vs-basicvsrpp was still using mmcv?

I'll try to look into it again next week.

Thanks!

Do you know if there was a workaround when vs-basicvsrpp was still using mmcv?

No really, last time Dan64 helped out by compiled a mmcv version (see: https://forum.selur.net/thread-3726.html).
Looking at what HolyWu did to get rid of the dependency, he basically incorporated the needed code into https://github.com/HolyWu/vs-basicvsrpp (see: HolyWu/vs-basicvsrpp@e8318cf)

Thanks for the link! Removing the need for mmcv would be the best solution. I can maybe try that in the future with the help of HolyWus's example, but unfortunately don't have that much time to look into it currently.

But for now this solved it for me. There have been two issues:

Mim installation failing due to an issue during aliyunsdkcore installation. I'm not sure why this happens, but it has something to do with using the integrated Python.

1. Download aliyunsdkcore manually: https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/aliyunsdkcore/aliyunsdkcore-1.0.3.tar.gz
2. Unzip and put folder aliyunsdkcore-1.0.3 into the site-packages folder: vapoursynth-portable\Lib\site-packages\.
3. It should now be possible to install mim like this: python -m pip install --no-cache-dir U openmim
4. Update setuptools just in case. In the past it got downgraded during mim installation: python -m pip install -U setuptools

MMCV not installing/building successfully. This is due to using integrated Python, which does not come with developer headers and libraries by default, which are needed to build stuff.

1. Download attached developer headers and libraries for Python 3.12 manually: Python 3.12 Headers & Libraries.zip
2. Unzip and put folders include and libs in the same folder where the python.exe is inside your portable Vapoursynth.
3. Install/update requirements: python -m pip install -U wheel ninja
4. It should now be possible to install mmcv like this: python -m pip install mmcv

When Vapoursynth switches to a different Python version than 3.12 in the future, the attached files will likely no longer work. But you can get the new ones by installing the required Python version normally via the Windows installer, then going to the installation directory and just copying the libs and include folders from there.

Let me know if that works for you!

Thanks!
I will give it a try tomorrow and report back.
