Error installing tensorflow_data_validation

[singhniraj08]

@andysingal,

This issue is because of the reason that Colab has updated the python version to 3.10 and python 3.10 support for TFDV is still work in progress. Meanwhile we are working on Python 3.10 support for all TFX packages, we have introduced an workaround to run Colab tutorials as mentioned here.

You can refer this example gist for TFDV installation steps in Colab. Thank you!

Getting the same issue with Qwiklabs "Introduction to TensorFlow Data Validation"

https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/training-data-analyst

navigate to training-data-analyst > courses > machine_learning > deepdive2 > production_ml > labs, and open tfdv_basic_spending.ipynb.

The example gist for TFDV installation doesn't seem to work there

%%shell
update-alternatives
# !pip install tfx
%%shell
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.8 3
curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py

Result:

  Cell In[13], line 3
    update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.8 3
                                                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

@AdrienLemaire, This workaround is specific to Colab notebooks where we downgrade the python version in colab runtime. I am not sure if this workaround will work on other platforms. You can try running the notebooks in Colab environment or downgrade the Python version to 3.9 in your environment meanwhile we work on introducing python 3.10 support.
Thank you!

But isn't downloading python version a temporary workaround?. I hope you can also update your documentation.

@andysingal,

TFX tutorials is updated with Caution section to inform users about the issue and the temporary workaround. Thanks.

@andysingal,

Python 3.10 support is introduced in TFDV 1.14.0 release. Please let us know if you face any issues in TFDV installation. Thank you!
