[Installation] Dependency conflicts installing birder on Kaggle Notebook
I’m trying to use the birder package (rope_vit_reg4_b14_capi-places365) inside a Kaggle notebook.
When I run:
!pip install birder -q
I get dozens of “incompatible” warnings, e.g.:
Hi there,
Thank you for trying out Birder and for reporting this issue! You're absolutely right that the dependency warnings are problematic, especially in managed environments like Kaggle notebooks.
What's happening:
Birder is currently in alpha status with quite strict dependency requirements (locked to patch versions like scipy~=1.16.0). These strict requirements often conflict with the pre-installed packages in Kaggle and Colab environments, which is exactly what you're experiencing with those incompatibility warnings.
Current workaround:
Despite all the warnings, Birder should install successfully and work properly after restarting your kernel.
The warnings indicate that some built-in packages may be affected, but the core functionality remains intact.
Looking ahead:
I'm planning to relax these strict dependency requirements when Birder moves to beta status.
This should significantly reduce conflicts with managed environments and provide a smoother installation experience.
