AutoML extension installation fails on Ubuntu 20.04 (support Python 3.8)

[lehmus]

I am not able to install the AutoML extension on a local computer running Ubuntu 20.04. Tried to run this command from the documentation:

pip install --upgrade azureml-sdk[explain,automl]

but I run into the following error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement onnxruntime==1.0.0 (from azureml-train-automl-runtime~=1.4.0->azureml-train-automl~=1.4.0; extra == "automl"->azureml-sdk[automl]) (from versions: 1.2.0)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for onnxruntime==1.0.0 (from azureml-train-automl-runtime~=1.4.0->azureml-train-automl~=1.4.0; extra == "automl"->azureml-sdk[automl])

Python version is 3.8 (64bit) and Pip version is 20.1. I have also installed the ONNX library via Pip. ONNX version is 1.6.0, although I also tried downgrading it to 1.0.0 but received the same error.

@lehmus Thanks for the question. We will update you shortly.

@lehmus I believe that should work now. onnxruntime just released 3.8 version. If you see any issues please consider to use py37

[lehmus]

It seems that Python 3.8 is only supported for onnxruntime >= 1.2.0. This conflicts with requirement onnxruntime == 1.0.0 in 'azureml-train-automl' (latest version).

So the issue is not Ubuntu 20.04, but Python 3.8. I confirmed this by installing azureml-sdk[automl] with conda for both 3.7 and 3.8. Python 3.7 installation succeeds but 3.8 fails. So the current workaround is to use Python 3.7.

Thank you for your assistance.

Note that the Windows Store currently ships Python 3.8, so AutoML installation will probably fail on Windows as well...

[vizhur]

resolving the issue as automl does not support python 3.8 at the moment until onboards with the latest onnx

@vizhur Can this be-reopened now that azureml now officially supports python 3.8?

[vizhur]

@RileyMShea AutoML runtime still doesn't support 3.8

[savitamittal1]

Currently AutoML support python 3.6 and 3.7 version of python.
Version 3.8 is in roadmap and is planned to be added in the second semester of the year.
