No Python 3.8 distribution

[tomweingarten]

Ubuntu 20.04 defaults to Python 3.8, and there are no pre-built pip packages for tensorflow-text targeting that Python version. When I try to follow the instructions to build the package, I receive the following error:

++ uname -s
+ osname=Linux
+ [[ Linux == \D\a\r\w\i\n ]]
+ ./oss_scripts/configure.sh

To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.

Is there no tensorflow package for py 3.8? It sounds like that's the obstacle.

Same here on mac OS. tensorflow is py3.8-compatible:

python -V
Python 3.8.2
...
pip show tensorflow
Name: tensorflow
Version: 2.2.0

and the installation fails with

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

Thanks for letting us know, we'll add a 3.8 build target.

Hi.

I have the same issue, Just wanted to check if a solution is ready
pip install tensorflow-text==2.2.0
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-text==2.2.0 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-text==2.2.0
OS: ubuntu 20.04
python 3.8.2
tensorflow version 2.2.0 is installed.

Am I missing something here, and so it does not install tensorflow-text

I tried installing Rasa (compiling from source) using python 3.8. Successfully installed Tensor Flow 2.2.0. It does show Installing Rasa. But it does not install, Can I get some help.
Tensorflow-text is the only module that is not getting installed.

make install
poetry run python -m pip install -U pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /home/iyengar/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/rasa-YCFpMGBa-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages (20.1.1)
poetry install

We just released version 2.2.1. This includes builds for Python 3.8.

[broken]

We retroactively added python 3.8 packages for version 2.2.0 as well.

Thanks a lot @broken, very much appreciated. 🚀
