snowboy python module includes wrong snowboy-detect-swig.o (compiled files)

[norbusan]

Installation using pip(3) on x86_64-linux is broken because the Python Pip distribution (https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/86/fc/3a13408cb3b32abff1b0539f44fca02ca378d9077b11f0c95674f278f3de/snowboy-1.2.0b1.tar.gz) contains swig/Python/snowboy-detect-swig.o which is a Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 object and newer than the .c file and thus it is not rebuilt automatically. After this, the loader fails with

  Compiling snowboy...
  g++ -I../../ -O3 -fPIC -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 -std=c++0x  -shared snowboy-detect-swig.o \

Please remove the generated files from the Python distribution package. Thanks.

(BTW, this is probably the source of several other issues mentioning that installation fails!)

Have you checked this #493 yet. @norbusan ? It is the better way to build Snowboy.

@hongquan thanks, interesting to see. Indeed, automatic support for Python3 would be nice. Thanks for your work on that.

How could I tell pip to use that branch? I just need to install this to run kalliope.
Edit: Dunno why I asked, this is how: pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/fossasia/snowboy.git@feature/standard-Python-build
