bug#52348: Error installing pytorch and tensorflow

[Cayetano Santos via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

Hi guix,

  By just issuing a

    guix install python-pytorch tensorflow

I get a conflict error with python-protobuf (3.6.1 and 3.12.4). 
However, when I

    guix shell --container python-pytorch tensorflow

I manage to create an environment with no issue.

Finally, with ’guix pack ...’ I get the same error as before.

Best,

Cayetano Santos

Yes, indeed.  tensorflow propagates python-protobuf@3.6.  And
python-pytorch propagates onnx which itself propagated
python-protobuf@3.12.  As the error message says. :-)

Oh, yes it works.  However, note that tensorflow is probably not
compatible with the current Numpy version.


Hum, I do not know what is expected. :-)  Is it that 'shell' does as
'install' does?  Or contrary?  Well, I thought that "shell" was doing
the same thing as "install" but the profile was just marked as
temporary.
