Unable to install deepspeech

[yashthigale]

Actually, I am new to deepspeech. When I am installing deepspeech package inside my Python virtual environment or inside my AWS Sagemaker environment. It gives me the following error :

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement deepspeech (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for deepspeech

Same here I tried install deepspeech in docker deployment on google cloud but I am sure if the python version matters etc

Same error I am also getting.

I also get this error on Ubuntu 23.04:

$ pip install deepspeech
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement deepspeech (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for deepspeech

The Python version is 3.11.4

Project is unmaintained and thus no wheel built and updated for newer versions of Python.

@lissyx Do you have access to this repository? Could you mark this repos as unmaintained in the README.md , or archive the GitHub repo? There is no indication anywhere that this project is officially unmaintained. It doesn't feel right to close valid issues as "completed" when they are not fixed.

[lissyx]

Marking the project archived is not my call.

[Flimm]

@lissyx Fair enough. I'm trying to share my perspective as an outsider. GitHub marks you as a collaborator, who apparently has the ability to close GitHub issues. Do you also have the ability to edit the README.md file? Could you help me understand why this issue was closed as "completed", but there are still 114 issues that are still open? Why not close those as "completed" too?

@lissyx can we contribute? or update to newer versions of python or branch off for update? the projects claims open-source?

Of course, we moved away from TaskCluster to GitHub Actions for that purpose back in 2021, but nobody showed interest in getting more into the project while we were available to help and mentor. Given the long time, it's possible a lot of broken, but if you come up with fixes I will obviously review.

Awesome so for this issue would I need to upgrade to a version of python that deepspeech doesn't run on and update the code that is breaking? to fix this issue? then Merge a PR?

[lissyx]

You'd need to get back CI working again because it is likely broken since this time. Then adding support for new versions of python like e.g.,

DeepSpeech/.github/workflows/build-and-test.yml

Line 313 in aa1d285

python-version: [3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9]

(but there are many other places to update)

this the yaml file for the CI? what commands do you run to test this?

Sorry to ask just assume that I am new and a idiot right now

[lissyx]

Unfortunately, you need to know how to hack GitHub Actions to dive into this yaml file, and the build process involves building tensorflow,combined with the limitations from GitHub Actions, it ends up being non trivial. If you'd like to hack around, I'd suggest to learn GitHub Actions first.

Does this mean that I shoud be able to pip install deepspeech if my python version is between versions 3,6 and 3,9? Becouse I tried to install it with version 3,7 and it still was not possible
