FileNotFoundError: 'VERSION' File Missing Issue

[OD-Ice]

Hey，

I encountered a FileNotFoundError while trying to install simsimd==4.4.0. The specific error message is as follows:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'VERSION'

The error occurs when running the pip install command, and the traceback is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/local/python-3.10.14/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pyproject_hooks/_in_process/_in_process.py", line 353, in <module>

It appears that the build process is unable to locate a file named VERSION, which is causing the installation to fail. Could you please assist in resolving this issue? My system uses glibc 2.17 x86_64. Is it possible that the VERSION file is missing, or is there an alternative solution?

Thank you very much.

Interesting. Can be an environment issue, as the VERSION file is clearly present in the repo. Can you try the same from a new virtual environment.

This doesn’t work. The structure of the tar.gz file I downloaded from PyPI is as shown in the picture. Is this normal?

And I can’t find a suitable whl file for my system to install, such as simsimd-4.4.0-cp310-cp310-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.whl.
