Boost library linking problem on Python 3 about annoy HOT 8 CLOSED

That's annoying. I should enable Python 3 builds on Travis and fix issues

from annoy.

Doesn't seem like boost for Python 3 is available in apt-get

Hm I should really just drop the dependency on Boost since it's causing so many issues

from annoy.

+1 on dropping Boost.

Ok let me give it a shot when I have time (could take a few weeks/months, would love it if someone else could give it a shot)

from annoy.

I bet you would :)

We started an "incubator" thing where we assign open source improvements & algos to students (a year project or thesis or whatever). Mostly gensim, but annoy is a good fit too.

This task may be a bit too non-academic, but if someone suitably hardcore turns up, I'll direct them here. Would be great to have Annoy more accessible and noob-proof.

Nice. I think dropping boost isn't more than a few hours though. Whole
annoy is a few hundred lines and the boost part is just a handful lines. I
just need a few spare hours (hard right now)

Getting closer – Boost dependency is now dropped, next step is Python 3 support.

Try now! Will re-open if broken
