Outdated version of tensorflow used #165

Pip cannot find tensorflow 2.4.0 so throws an error

githubharald commented 1 year ago

you can give the closest version a try, 2.5.0, and see if it works.

elj40 commented 1 year ago

It seems that 2.5.0 will work, but it does throw a lot of warnings that a lot of the functions are deprecated and will be removed soon,.

I still haven't gotten it working but I think its because it says tensorflow 2.5.0 doesnt want to interact nicely with the later versions of tensorflow-intel. I will try again tomorrow in a virtual environment and get back to you.

You can close the issue if you like.

Okay I have finally gotten it work! These were the lowest requirements I found to work:

editdistance==0.6.2
patch-ng
lmdb==1.3.0
matplotlib==3.3.0
numpy==1.19.5
opencv-python==4.4.0.46
path==15.0.0
tensorflow==2.5.0

I ALSO had to get the Python package for Visual Studio with native packages enabled

elj40 commented 1 year ago

Maybe just update the requirements so the next person doesn't go through the same pain

githubharald commented 1 year ago

thanks a lot for sharing your findings. Next time I do an update I'll push the versions. For native bindings: this is most likely due to editdistance which gets compiled locally.

elj40 commented 1 year ago

I forgot to say. Although tensorflow 2.5.0 does work, I still get a lot of warnings of deprecated functions that should be replaced by new ones, so maybe look into those too.

Thanks for making this project. I'm glad it exists
