Relaxation of leidenalg==0.7.0 requirement?

[ajitjohnson]

Hi @ShobiStassen

I see that you have leidenalg==0.7.0 as a requirement. Is there any particular reason why it needs to be that exact version? For people like me who use version managers, that specific requirement makes it difficult to use parc. Is it possible to change it to something like leidenalg>=0.7.0 if the version is not critical? Thank you.

install_requires=['pybind11','numpy','scipy','pandas','hnswlib','python-igraph','leidenalg==0.7.0','umap-learn']

Best, Ajit.

hi @ajitjohnson

thanks for your message - about half a year ago some changes were made to leidenalg that made it (unexpectedly) slower for very large datasets. The Leidenalg authors have now corrected for this, but there is still a minor slow down compared to version0.7.0 on extremely large datasets (millions of cells) but i think you should be fine to use PARC on the corrected leidenalg versions. I have relaxed the requirement now, let me know if that works for you then Shobi

Thanks a lot, @ShobiStassen. Yeah, I saw your convo with Traag. Thank you so much for bringing this issue forward and fixing it.
