Configuration issue with Anaconda and Python 3.8

[JAM5107k]

I followed the installation directions on the README. However, my version of Anaconda only goes back to python 3.8. I did the following:

1. conda create --name itmlogic python=3.8 gdal
2. conda activate itmlogic
3. conda install numpy fiona shapely rtree rasterio pyproj tqdm pytest rasterstats pandas matplotlib
4. git clone https://github.com/edwardoughton/itmlogic
5. changed to the itmlogic directory
6. python setup.py install
7. python -m pytest

The result is below (2 fails):

--------------------------------------- Captured stdout call ---------------------------------------
Line of sight path
Diffraction is the dominant mode
Estimated quantiles of basic transmission loss (db)
Free space value 102.63079048306626 db
Confidence levels 50, 90, 10
===================================== short test summary info ======================================
FAILED tests/test_area.py::test_itmlogic_area - assert 111.69200844812512 == 111.69200844812511
FAILED tests/test_p2p.py::test_itmlogic_p2p - assert 137.64279211442658 == 137.64279211442656
=================================== 2 failed, 19 passed in 0.31s ===================================

Looking at the 2 failures it appears that there is an assert on the equivlancy of some doubles that differ in the 14th decimal place.

Any suggestions?

Thanks /Joe.

If I continue on and just try the p2p.py test it also fails. Here are the results:

python scripts/p2p.py

Any suggestions? Thanks /Joe.
