Information

Model I am using (Bert, XLNet …):

The problem arises when using:

the official example scripts: Following the contribution guidelines wherein its written to run command - pip install -e ".[dev]" inside a virtual environment
my own modified scripts: (give details below)

The tasks I am working on is:

an official GLUE/SQUaD task: The task was to add type hints & decorators for the various models [part of code cleanup 2022]
my own task or dataset: (give details below)

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a virtual environment with python version 3.10 (latest) or with 3.6 .
Install the required dependencides mentioned in setup.py file via command - pip install -e ".[dev]"
During installation it gives out this error -> which causes no further installation of any dependencies ie transformer was not installed.

Expected behavior

On running the pip install command every dependency along with transformers should get install completely with the python version 3.6 or 3.10 as in the setup.py file its mentioned python>=3.6.0 but still it didnt work with 3.6/3.10 versions

Note :- But I was able to install all the dependencies completely & smoothly with python version 3.8

Hi, @robotjellyzone Thank you for the offer. We will do this when v4.19.0 is released. Currently we are still in v4.18.0 release, and we can’t change setup.py before we officially drop it 😃

I could reproduce the issue with Python 3.10. From what I could saw (quickly), ray doesn’t support yet Python 3.10. See https://github.com/ray-project/ray/pull/21221

And for Python 3.6, we have some discussion to drop its support soon, but at this moment, I am not very sure about the process. Let’s see what Lysandre says regarding this part.

(I am not even able to create a py 3.6 env via conda …)
