Problems when importing runner VART module in python3.6

[jlamperez]

Hi @yunqu ,

First of all thank you for your effort supporting DPU on Pynq boards it is an incredible work!

I've been able to run different dpu notebooks but now when I try to load models using VART and libvart-dpu-runner.so like in this example, resnet50_mt_py, I am having problems when running import runner. It says that:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'runner'

I've been digging and I have seen that runner.so is installed in /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/runner.so but notebooks use Python3.6. Could this runner.so be installed/supported in Python 3.6?

Best regards,
Jorge.

@jlamperez Currently we don't have good support for VAI run-time. The main reason is what you found - VAI is depending on python3.5 but we have python3.6. So we only support DNNDK run-time to use DPU.

@yunqu Okey, no problem. Thank you very much for your answer!
