@tjbck commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2024):
Only python 3.11 is supported.
@yang-gu commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2024):
What do I do then? And why is only 3.11 supported?
@vnicolici commented on GitHub (Dec 23, 2024):
Great. I have two python installations, one is 3.10 on Ubuntu 22.04 in one WSL environment, and one is 3.12 on Ubuntu 24.04 in another WSL environment. Neither work. Unbelievable. I can understand something not being forwards compatible OR not being backwards compatible, but NOT both.
That's why I hate python with a passion. It's sometimes easier to just recode in another language then having to go through the python version dependency hell just to make something work. And yes, I talk from experience: after fighting for a day to get some python code to run, I've rewritten it Go in a couple of hours.
Applications from 1995 (29 years ago) still work on Windows 11 just fine, I just installed Microsoft Money for Windows 95 to prove that:
However, open-webui doesn't run on a 3 years old version on python, and doesn't run on a 1 year old version of python either. It need exactly the version that is 2 years old. I don't even know what to say about this... I guess it's normal in the python world.
