Table taxa does not exist

[treitpeter]

When following the instructions under: https://pypi.org/project/taxadb/, following installation:

taxid = TaxID(dbtype = 'sqlite', dbname = 'mydb.sqlite')
name = taxid.sci_name(33208)
print(name)

I get the error message:

Table taxa does not exist
An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

SystemExit: 1
D:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\IPython\core\interactiveshell.py:2971: UserWarning: To exit: use 'exit', 'quit', or Ctrl-D.
warn("To exit: use 'exit', 'quit', or Ctrl-D.", stacklevel=1)

calling %tb gives the error:

---

Any ideas as to what this might be?

Hi!

Thank you for the bug report. I'll investigate and come back to you.

Do you have the file mydb.sqlite on your system, and did it build successfully? I noticed that you were having some problems building the database at #4
