setup_hde_fast_embedding.py trying to save to nonexistent folder

[kdembny]

In order to use cython there are instructions available for using the code: python3 setup_hde_fast_embedding.py build_ext --inplace to achieve this. However, this script attempts to create a file that saves into a folder idtxl/, which does not exist in the folder you run the script from. The error reads as follows: error: could not create 'idtxl/hde_fast_embedding.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so': No such file or directory
As a patch, one can make a file within idtxl also called idtxl and move the file created by the script up one level after the conclusion of the script, but as the code exists, it can't complete.

Hi, we are aware that there are some issues with the installation of the python module (there is also a Wiki page on this and see also issue #86). However, I could not replicate the error regarding the creation of the directory. Did you call python3 setup_hde_fast_embedding.py build_ext --inplace from within the IDTxl/idtxl folder?

Yes, that's how I called it. I'm ran it from Ubuntu on Linux and had to create an idtxl folder within IDTxl/idtxl. All the best, Kate
