python 3.12
streamlit 1.37.0
Thanks for your help with this

Is there any reason why you want numpy==1.24.3? You need python<3.12 to install such an old version.

Darnel · August 21, 2024, 7:33pm

Thank you I am a novice self taught so your guidance means a lot. I used that numpy version because it kept failing, again a novice LMAO. based on your guidance i should change my python version to 3.12 or later to confirm? Please and thank you so much.

Goyo · August 21, 2024, 7:43pm

I don’t understand. What kept failing and what made you think using numpy==1.24.3 would fix it?

Anyway, if you really want numpy==1.24.3 you need a python version lesser than 3.12.

Darnel · August 21, 2024, 7:48pm

Thank you I really appreciate your guidance and have learned a lot on the side in creating this question. I also appreciate your quick reply it means a lot great community here!

I recently faced an issue with dependency clashes, and after trying several solutions without success, I found that the best approach was to avoid specifying exact versions in requirements.txt . Instead, simply listing the package names worked well for me

streamlit
pandas
numpy
seaborn
matplotlib
scikit-learn
fuzzywuzzy
Pillow

Interestingly, I noticed that when I placed streamlit after scikit-learn , I encountered issues like distutils errors. However, moving streamlit to the top of the list and refreshing resolved the problem. It could be coincidental, but I’m curious if others have experienced something similar.

Has anyone else noticed this dependency order affecting package installation?
