mamba installation not working

[yoann-dufresne]

After installation of bioconvert using mamba, I am not able to run the software. Every attempt ends on :

bioconvert
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/yoann/bioinfo/bioconvert/py310/bin/bioconvert", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('bioconvert', 'console_scripts', 'bioconvert')())

@yoann-dufresne I see that it is python 3.10 here. not sure what should be the python version. According to the 'search command' the latest bioconvert version on bioconda is"

bioconvert                     0.6.2    pyhdfd78af_0  bioconda            

I'm pretty sure that the bioconda version of bioconvert will not be working for py3.10.

This method seems to work:

 conda create -n bioconvert python=3.7
 conda activate bioconvert
 conda install mamba
 mamba install bioconvert
 bioconvert --version

except for a warning. I have not tried python 3.8 - 3.9 - 3.10
