cannot pip install Octave / oct2py

[MomoSolaris8]

Ｈello，First of all, thank you for your creation！

I want to do an image transformation in chaquopy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-spline). But I can't install octave in pip, how can I fix it?

My operating system is ubuntu
python version is the default python 3.8
I need to pass an image to python code via java to do image processing. In this image processing I need to import ocatve (oct2py)

plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'com.chaquo.python'
}

android {
namespace 'com.example.demo15'
compileSdk 33

defaultConfig {

    applicationId "com.example.demo15"
    minSdk 21
    targetSdk 33
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"

    testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

    ndk {
        abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "arm64-v8a", "x86", "x86_64"
    }

    python {
        version "3.8"
        pip {
            install "dlib"
            install "opencv-contrib-python-headless"
            install "pillow"
            install "numpy"
            install "pywavelets"
            install "python-math"
            install "scipy"
            install "opencv-python"
            **install  "octave"**







        }


    }

plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.3.1' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '7.3.1' apply false
id 'com.chaquo.python' version '13.0.0' apply false
}

The recommended package for calling Octave from Python appears to be called oct2py, not octave. oct2py can be installed successfully, but it currently fails to import because of #820.

We'll fix #820 in the next version of Chaquopy. However, it looks like Octave is a compiled component, so it will still have to be built separately. And if it depends on calling an executable, as this implies, then it will also be blocked by #605.

Thanks for your quick answer

It's been over a year, and only one person has requested this package, so we won't be building it in the foreseeable future.

If anyone else wants this package, please post a comment, and I'll reopen the issue.
