ImportError: No module named svmcmpl

Question

I'm studing SVM and I found an interesting example here. I already have installed the cvxopt but the svmcmpl isn't installed together cvxopt and I not found how to install it. In the page is metioned the chompack but I also have it installed.

>>> import cvxopt
>>> import chompack
>>> import svmcmpl
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'svmcmpl'

If I try to install via pip using the name svmcmpl I get:

$ pip install svmcmpl

Could You post the content of `.pip/pip.log` ? The Error message is most probably there — Caridorc, Dec 20 '15 at 20:59

I emailed the article's author and he gave me the answer.

The svmcmpl isn't a module at all, it is a script and can be downloaded on article's site here.

so, how to run svmcmpl? Would you please help? – Creator Feb 15 '17 at 23:08
@Creator download the zip with the code and import it normally, e.g.: `cd Downloads/svmcmpl && python` and `>>> import svmcmpl` – ademar111190 Feb 16 '17 at 15:42
Thank you, but the problem is for svmcpml i need chompack. I could not install chompack. it complains that 'complex.h' is not there. Any idea what the problem is?Th problem is similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35094340/failed-with-pip-install-chompack#comment71728512_35094340 – Creator Feb 16 '17 at 22:48
@Creator Yes you need install both `$ pip install chompack` and `$ pip install cvxopt` I tried both on mac and linux and it works. – ademar111190 Feb 17 '17 at 19:53
