Error when installing on default Google Colab enviornment. #171

Closed mmayers12 closed 2 years ago

mmayers12 commented 3 years ago

I discovered that wikidataintegrator won't install to the default environment on Google Colab. Colab uses Python 3.6.9 as default, but WDI has a dependency (pyshexc) that requires Python>=3.7.

I don't know if out of the box Google Colab compatibility is a priority for WDI, but right now it's broken.

Thanks for raizing this issue. I was aware of the issue but did not dive into the why and how's. The main issue - as you indicate, is that WDI is not backward compatible with version 3.6. I am discussing with @hsolbrig if we could - at least for the pyshex library, make that backward compatible. This issue applies also to PAWS the jupyter hub for Wikimedia projects. There exists a phabricator issue that suggests that an upgrade to 3.7 for paws is being discussed.

I currently use a docker version of jupyte to run notebooks. It is suboptimal because the beauty of both colab and paws is that it allows sharing notebook results.

closing this issue because it is currently fixed, since collab is using a (higher) compatible version of python
