Are non-python-based models allowed #108

Closed lprekon closed 4 months ago

lprekon commented 5 months ago

I've been doing some work in Rust that I'm interested in testing here. Can we submit test and training code that's not python?

It would be quite easy to wrap the environment setup and execution in a python script so it's still python at the top level, but would require non-python dependencies. Is that acceptable?

janosh commented 5 months ago

absolutely, that's acceptable. let me know if you encounter any blocker in the model submission process from not using Python. i'm happy to make changes to accommodate other languages, esp. rust. no strict requirement to wrap your model in a Python script either. though other users might appreciate that and so worth considering i think.

closing as non-actionable for now. feel free to revive this thread if any hurdles arise.
