Outdated version of tensorflow used #165

Pip cannot find tensorflow 2.4.0 so throws an error

githubharald commented 10 months ago

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

elj40 commented 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

githubharald commented 10 months 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 10 months 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
