Fix an issue in merge lecture

[wupeifan]

This closes #198

[mmcky]

thanks @wupeifan I will need to look into the build failure this afternoon due to sphinx_exercise?

[wupeifan]

@mmcky Yeah, I don't know what exactly happen there since I didn't touch that file in this PR and #197 . Both are failing for the same reason somehow. It shouldn't be because of the working_with_text lecture since the API of StatsCanada is now fixed.

[mmcky]

I am actually not able to replicate the environment.yml file on my mac. It is showing loads of pip failures due to llvm. Hmm ... tricky one.

@wupeifan seems like there is an issue with

https://pypi.org/project/Fiona/

[wupeifan]

Yeah, that's possible. I think the maps lecture also uses fiona if I'm not mistaken...

[wupeifan]

Just want to bump this up a bit -- is there a solution at this point?

[mmcky]

@wupeifan I am still having issues installing fiona both locally and on github actions. I think that install issue is preventing this from building. It can't find gdal it appears. Any ideas?

[wupeifan]

It seems that it's currently failing on PyPI. NO ideas... maybe try conda?

[mmcky]

@wupeifan it has been failing for some time it appears on PyPI (last two versions).

I won't do this here but it would be good to move as many pip to conda as possible for the official environment given we are loading anaconda.

[wupeifan]

I see. yeah, that makes sense.

[wupeifan]

oh no it fails with the same error before.

Can I merge this one and the other PR that I have without compiling the new pages?

[mmcky]

I'll keep plugging away at this. It needs to be fixed as the new "publish" build wouldn't complete to publish the updates.

Also documented the issue: executablebooks/sphinx-exercise#46

@wupeifan looks like there is just one build issue with

• working_with_text

building locally now to get a copy of the logs

not sure why this isn't loading as omw-1.4 is listed if you click through to the nltk listing.

@wupeifan I have run out of time today. The environment.yml for this project is really fragile. I get a lot of local errors when trying to build it on os x. The failure report still indicates there is an issue with nltk
