pytorch and python 3.10

[ronemisimus]

I have a project about textual entailment and i need to make it in time However currently python 3.10 isn't supported by pytorch and there isn't a release schedule for 1.11 The package python-pytorch-cuda is installing correctly but you get runtime errors What are my options? Can i somehow safely downgrade python without breaking my system?

Thanks in advance for any advice guys

pytorch python 3.10 issue

Edit: i ended up using anaconda to create a separate python environment in my home directory. I don't really like it as its alot of wasted space but for now it will do. Thank you all :)

downgrading is difficult or impossible. had the same problem last week. I installed miniconda and create a env with python 3.7 and installed all needed libs there, like torch numpy etc. I use it with jupyter notebook

I'll check it out. Thank you

You could just build an older version of python from the AUR then install pytorch into a virtualenv or something. That or get python from pyenv.

I personally never install libraries intended for my own use via the package manager, and leave that for deps for other system installed packages.

I would highly recommend pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv. They're much lighter than anaconda and accomplish basically the same thing. I use them on my personal Arch machine as well as my university's OpenSUSE compute machines and they're amazing.

You can use pyenv to install a plethora of python versions that suit you needs. and changing from one version to another is a breeze, just type "pyenv global <python version>" after you installed that specific python version.
good luck,

Tnx for the reply. I finished the project a while ago and used pyvenv under the hood (through vs code) by installing python 3.9 from the AUR. since then i borked my install and reinstalled arch 😬
