install-deps not working on Ubuntu?

[redransil]

tkf, thanks for doing this! It looks like it's going to be super useful.

I'm having issues with julia-venv-manage install-deps

All the install steps seem to work up until that point, and then I get an error:

File "myenv/lib/python3.6/os.py", line 800, in fsencode
filename = fspath(filename) # Does type-checking of filename.
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.2, and have tried installing in both a conda environment and a virtualenv.

julia-venv-manage show gives:

No Conda//deps/build.log is found!
No PyCall//deps/build.log is found!
No PyCall/*/deps/deps.jl is found!

Any thoughts on what I should try next?

Ah, I think I only tested that command with Python 3.7. But actually julia-venv is now obsolete. I should update the README that you should use PyJulia directly now.

After I wrote julia-venv, I became a member of JuliaPy and integrated many improvements in PyJulia itself. In current PyJulia master, I just implemented a similar but much more powerful solution JuliaPy/pyjulia#185 (comment).
