3 years ago @drob-xx why did you close this? If you figured out a solution, do you mind posting here? I'm running into issues with using pynndescent on Google Colab as well.
My stack trace:

DistributionNotFound: The 'pynndescent' distribution was not found and is required by the application
I'm installing pynndescent on my gdrive so I can symlink to it during a colab session. Without doing this I'm forced to install bertopic (the package I'm working with and which works just fine) every time I start a new session. By installing it on my gdrive and then linking to it during a session I'm avoiding the overhead of re-installing.
pynndescent is a dependency for bertopic. When importing bertopic it errored out on pynndescent not being available as well as two other packages. I successfully installed the others with no problem. However, despite multiple attempts at installing, un-installing and upgrading (all successful according to pip) pynndescent is still popping an error:
DistributionNotFound: The 'pynndescent' distribution was not found and is required by the application
I did find a similar issue here but the solution doesn't seem relevant to my situation. Help appreciated.
