PyPi install issue

[Guitaricet]

Executing pip install promptsource causes the following error for me

    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

        with open('requirements.txt') as requirements_file:

    ----------------------------------------

I was trying to understand what is a possible problem, but this one is confusing, because the previous line with open("README.md", "r", encoding="utf-8") as readme_file: also reads a local file and it does not fail.

I will make a PR that removes requirements.txt in favor of explicitly providing a list of dependencies to install_requires.

The PR: #727

Thanks Vlad! @stephenbach would you mind taking a look at this? I'm not sure if it's related but right now I can't even pip install promptsource on an empty Colab.

@awebson This is due to python=3.7 requirement. If you use pip with any other version of python it cannot find promptsource at all.

Do you know the reason behind such a strict python version requirement? Can we allow python>=3.7?

[awebson]

FWIW, I did !python --version and Colab currently has 3.7.12. Also, running !pip install git+https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/promptsource.git works.

I'm not sure why we require 3.7 aside from the fact that the readme says “for stability reasons”.

[VictorSanh]

We pinned to Python3.7 (in this commit) for various rendering bugs reasons (see #416, #385, #444).

Removing this constraint (#584) would require addressing #725 at the same time which is a little bit involved because the state management changed! but absolutely feel free to assign yourselves!

[VictorSanh]

I just did a patch release with your fix @Guitaricet

@awebson , also tested this new release on Colab and it seems to work smoothly!
