Is it possible to run the model on Google Colab?

[toniju98]

Hey, I wanted to ask if it's possible to run your model on Google Colab too. I don't have a Nvidia GPU, but still would like to test it. The problem is that Google Colab doesn't have Python 3.7. Is there a solution for it?

We don't rely heavily on Python 3.7 so my guess is that with a few tweaks you'll be able to run on Python 3.6 in Colab. The one thing that comes to mind is you'll need to install the dataclasses package.

If you try it, let us know how it goes!

I think the problem is the blobfile package. I can't install blobfile 0.17.2 on Google Colab. It seems like it's just possible to install versions up to 0.11.0. If I try to run it with blobfile 0.11.0, I get this error.

Any success?

Hi,
I also tried to make it run in colab but not with much success. I did not have any issues with the blobfile but with the mpi4py package. I got the following error when running the sample.py file.

CalledProcessError: Command '['mpiexec', '-n', '1', 'python', '-c', 'import sys; import pickle; pickle.loads(open("/tmp/pickle_fn", "rb").read())()']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

thanks for the link, after fixing the paths and importing pipenv I got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fire'

Is this an issue specific to google colab, or will it occur if I try to run it locally?

Is the issue resolved? I get the issue that package are not getting installed
