Make it work on Colab

[chainsawriot]

The idea probably would be: Make grafzahl usable with non-Conda Python, e.g. the Python provided by Colab. As of writing, that's 3.8.

Install all the Python dependencies: pandas, emoji, tqdm, simpletransformers

[chainsawriot]

Initial experiment suggests this is possible with Colab's R runtime.

system("python3 -m pip install simpletransformers", intern = TRUE)
install.packages("reticulate")
writeLines("import torch\ndef py_detect_cuda():\n    return(torch.cuda.is_available())", "cuda2.py")
reticulate::source_python("cuda2.py")
py_detect_cuda()

[chainsawriot]

Initial idea is to rewrite this:

• [x] So that it won't assume conda.
• [x] Provide a setup script for use with Colab
