ValueError: 'pycocotools/_mask.pyx' doesn't match any files about faster-rcnn-tensorflow-python3

[rancheng]

I mean, when you run
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
You should be inside the directory that setup.py was in.

I had the same problem.

Stay ‘building 'pycocotools._mask' extension’ for a long time.

[rancheng]

you should go to the directory, to build the mask file. cd to the setup.py folder.

same question ,have you solved it?

Please help me to solve these issues:-
After running below command:-

python model_main.py --logtostderr --train_dir=training/ --pipeline_config_path=training/faster_rcnn_inception_v2_thali.config

I am getting Error message:-

from object_detection.metrics import coco_tools
  File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\venv_obj_gpu2\lib\site-packages\object_detection-0.1-py3.6.egg\object_detection\metrics\coco_tools.py", line 51, in <module>
    from pycocotools import coco
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pycocotools'

To solve this I put pycocotools folder in object_detection directory then this error was gone but new error came
_mask file not found

To solve this I thought of run a command :
I copied PythonAPI in model/research/ from official cocoapi folder
PWD: model/research

python PythonAPI/setup.py build_ext install

then I got different error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64/link.exe    not found.

but file is there.

I am using python 3.6 on Windows 10 with Tensorflow gpu 1.12
as per the official doc is provided we need to put pycocotools folder into research directory of Model
but not working.

Please suggest me any way to overcome this.

You don't need any additional file. Make sure to follow all steps in the README, above all the 4th.

then I got different error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64/link.exe    not found.

but file is there.

This error is caused by Visual studio, search on the net your error (after trying to follow my previous advice).
