@ashtonsix I had some issues updating fastai from in a new server. Doesn’t look like I can attach files here so I sent you an email with a text file of the terminal session and the environment file used for updating.
The basic gist is:
I set up a new server. I cd to fastai/ and do a git pull, and when I try to update my fastai environment with the environment.yml file: after running through a bunch of already-installed packages, an error occurs triggering 3 exceptions, finally ending in what looks like a typo in some python utility package:
File "/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/envs/fastai/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2951, in __init__
raise RequirementParseError(str(e))
pip._vendor.pkg_resources.RequirementParseError: Invalid requirement, parse error at "'; extra '"
I noticed I can install the kaggle api (pip install kaggle not kaggle-cli) before updating the fastai environment, but if I attempt to install it after, I will get the same (or similar) error as above (should be about 58-lines).
I tried updating pip (though looks like it’s already up to date within the fastai environment), conda, uninstalling anaconda and replacing with miniconda, reinstalling python site-package tools (I forget the exact name), deleting everything inside .cache/[?pip/]https & .cache/[?pip/][?site-]packages, and a few other things to no effect.
I figure this is a bit of an issue if it’s happening on a fresh machine, so sending this your way. I sent the email to your “Salamander”-named address with the line: “conda/pip installs failing during & after fastai update on 1x K80 machine”.
