Which python version to use?

[sag3002]

I tried using Python 3.12 and 3.10 using virtual environment but was unable to run the app. It says unable to import Flask even though all dependencies are installed.

Can you share the error? Note that the current installation steps are kinda outdated. I will update it soon with the next release

There's a problem with your python environment. Can you show me the output of pip list? Or try to create a clean installation in clean env (preferably conda)

I think I got it. You have many Python versions installed. In main.py, it runs these commands:

subprocess.run(["python", "create_index.py"])
subprocess.run(["python", "server.py"])

which run in the default Python you have rather than this venv.

Please verify if this is the scenario so I can fix it.

Yes! This was the issue it seems. I replace them with: subprocess.run([python_executable, "create_index.py"]) subprocess.run([python_executable, "server.py"])

and now it works

Thanks for pointing to this issue, I will try to modify the main to avoid this problem! I will keep the issue open until I fix it
