pip install fails due to old numpy version

With python 3.12+, the installation via pip install paddleclas fails due to numpy:

For python 3.13+, this PR pinned another version as a workaround: #3327

However, it's still broken for python 3.12.

Hi, paddleclas has not been tested with Python 3.12+, and we are still discussing if the support should be added in the next release. Currently, we would recommend Python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10, as the existing tests are based on these versions. For now, you can try installing paddleclas from source by locally removing the version specification of numpy from the dependency list. That may work, but since paddleclas isn't really tested with some new versions of numpy, the performance and stability is not guaranteed.

today is 2025-2-4, and this issue is still not fixed. i searched and found that, is setuptools and python version question, or Compatibility issues between Python and numpy versions, or must rewirte paddleclas/setup.py file.

Find 'register_finder(pkgutil.ImpImporter' in
'C:\Python312\Lib\site-packages\pip_vendor\pkg_resources_init_.py'
Find 'register_finder(pkgutil.ImpImporter' in
'C:\Python312\Lib\site-packages\pkg_resources_init_.py'

after comment

#if hasattr(pkgutil, 'ImpImporter'):
#    register_finder(pkgutil.ImpImporter, find_on_path)

python3.12, use pip install PaddleClas, still get error:

File "C:\Users\apyuser\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-env-s4dbcivb\overlay\Lib\site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 2172, in <module>
          register_finder(pkgutil.ImpImporter, find_on_path)
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      AttributeError: module 'pkgutil' has no attribute 'ImpImporter'. Did you mean: 'zipimporter'?

so, in pip install enviroment , the file is not use local site-packages\pkg_resources_init_.py, but use remote pypi file.

python 3.12, Temporarily resolved installation issues

1. Download the source code and remove the following "2.6.0" from folder name
2. cmd enters the directory
3. modify requirements.txt, change numpy==1.24.4 to numpy==1.26.4
4. Execute "pip install ."
5. run python, test import paddleclas
