Could you try to create a new conda environment and install ConvLab-2 again? We don't have a constraint on the version of boto3 & botocore. In the Colab, I can install boto3-1.21.16 botocore-1.24.16

The version-checking still exists (in a new conda env with python3.6.1 on linux), even if I pre-install the boto3-1.21.16 botocore-1.24.16 :(

Tried with python 3.7.11 and got new error:

Failed to build jsonnet quadprog
ERROR: Could not build wheels for quadprog which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

[AtmaHou]

I succeed to fix all error, by
(1) Use a higher version of python.
(2) Fix the installation of jsonnet quadprog by directly installing them with conda.

maybe update the pip will solve the problem, too

emmmm.. The problem seems coming from the deep dependency crash caused by python version, since I try many different version (3.5.0, 3.5.8, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.7.0 etc) and confront to various problems. The problem is solved with 3.7.11 which is close to the version of Colab

@AtmaHou We release ConvLab-3, using python>=3.8, have a try!
