Can't install latest version on macOS

Describe the bug I follow the installation guide to install Ludwig using a virtual environment. But the version I can only install is 0.1.0. I try to use pip install --upgrade ludwig, but the ludwig version didn’t change and I try to use ludwig experiment like the first example, it’s also not working.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. virtualenv -p python3 venv
2. (after activate virtual environment) pip install ludwig
3. pip list to check the version of ludwig, it shows 0.1.0
4. try cmd ludwig train, it said: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tensorflow.contrib’ "
5. try cmd ludwig experiment, it said: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tensorflow.contrib’ "

Expected behavior install latest version of ludwig and run successfully

@jimthompson5802 Thanks for the help. I try python 3.8 and it works!

[jimthompson5802]

@victoriayue I may have an explanation.

the tfa-nightly dependency is for the tensorflow_addons package. It appears that this version of the package was built for only Python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8. Here is a screenshot of the available downloads for this version of the tensorflow_addons package:

As you can see there is no package file with the designation of cp39 (aka Python 3.9). The highest is cp38 (aka Python 3.8).

From your initial posting, you indicated your Python version is 3.9. To install Ludwig 0.3.3, you’ll have to create a virtual environment with Python 3.8 and install Ludwig in there. FWIW…I’ve been using Python 3.6 without issues.

Let me know if this makes sense and if it helps you install ludwig.
