Tensorboard version conflict

Troubleshooting
1

Guildai tensorboard functionallity donćt work for me for some time. Now I would like to make it work.

If I execute command guild tensorboard --started 'last 1 hour' I get:

(base) PS C:\Users\Mislav\Documents\GitHub\trademl> guild tensorboard --started 'last 1 hour'

Conda list requests gives:

(base) PS C:\Users\Mislav\Documents\GitHub\trademl> conda list requests
# packages in environment at C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
requests                  2.24.0             pyh9f0ad1d_0    conda-forge
requests-oauthlib         1.3.0                    pypi_0    pypi

so it is greater than 2.21 and lower than 3?

I haven’t seen this sort of error from pkg_resources. I’m surprised it’s checking versions and failing there for what it’s being asked to do (simply load entry points).

Do you see the same error when you run tensorboard directly (without Guild)?

I would certainly try upgrading requests (e.g. pip install --upgrade requests). This particular version requirement is not coming from Guild — my guess is that it’s from tensorboard.

Whatever conda is showing you there is different from what is coming from c:\users\mislav\appdata\roaming\python\python38\site-packages. I’d run the pip from the python38 location to verify that requests is 2.18.4.

The safest way to run pip for a given Python instance is this way:

python -m pip [ARGS]...
