Please provide a minimal example that produces this error, then we will
investigate further.

Ok - I've attached the code, and the images necessary to run it, in a
tarball. The images (and the code) are taken from the skimage-tutorials
available on github at https://github.com/scikit-image/skimage-tutorials -
specifically lectures/adv3_panorama-stitching.ipynb.

Thanks!

Hi Riley

I should have checked your stacktrace earlier.  It looks like Matplotlib
is responsible.  What version of that package are you running, and can
you try and upgrade to the latest version?

The error does seem to result in a change between skimage 0.13
and 0.14dev0.
Here is the relevant patch:

Your options are:

1. Use the attached version of plot_matches or
2. to upgrade to the source version of scikit-image

Message-ID: <CAFyUc2Cm_efjHyrQJ4CVNtaBbNT3i_E=RycRAQY007F5kR4O8w@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I have been trying to follow the tutorial here
https://www.kaggle.com/gzuidhof/full-preprocessing-tutorial

However, verts, faces, , = measure.marching_cubes(p, threshold) in the
function of plot_3d gives the following error message

 File "guidozuidhof_fullprocessing.py", line 90, in plot_3d
    verts, faces = measure.marching_cubes(p, threshold)
ValueError: too many values to unpack


What does that mean, and how to solve it, thanks a lot!

Hi,

Functions in Python return objects packed in a tuple. When you write
`verts, faces = marching_cubes(...)`, Python computes
`marching_cubes(...)`, takes the output, and tries to unpack it (i.e. to
assign to the names on the left-hand side of `=`) to 2 objects. The error
tells you that the number of objects in a returned tuple is too high (>2).

Here is an example to better understand the issue:

In [1]: a, b = (1, 2)
In [2]: a, b, c = (1, 2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-5-26c544669ffc> in <module>()
----> 1 a, b, c = (1, 2)

ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2)

In [3]: a, b = (1, 2, 3)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-2ecd6d570722> in <module>()
----> 1 a, b = (1, 2, 3)

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)


In skimage 0.13, as far as I remember, `marching_cubes` is actually an
alias to `marching_cubes_lewiner` (
http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/api/skimage.measure.html#skimage.measure.marching_cubes_lewiner)
which returns 4 objects, not 2. In skimage 0.14dev we've already removed
this alias.
You should either use `marching_cubes_classic` (not recommended), or update
your code to use `marching_cubes_lewiner` and unpack the output to 4
variables.

Regards,
Egor

Just FYI - after a lot of hard work over at
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/7616 - mostly by Github user
Xoviat - we can now build Scipy wheels for Windows.  I guess they'll
come out at the next Scipy release if not before.
