Change pip version in submission space

[mh0797]

Hi,
Is there a way to change the pip version (and maybe also the python version) for the submission spaces of the competition?
I don't mean the actual competition space; instead, I mean the space that is created upon submission (named "comp-").

pip version can be updated for all. no problem. python cannot. which python version do you prefer and why? :)

How exactly can I update the pip version?
Changing the Python version is not a priority for now, I was just curious about this :D

[abhishekkrthakur]

we can update pip to latest by rebuilding the docker

[abhishekkrthakur]

you can also install custom packages by creating a requirements.txt file in the competition config repo. so, thats another way :)

I actually want to downgrade it from 24.2 to 24.0 because one dependency in the requirements file cannot be installed with the latest version.

Unfortunately, I cannot simply add another pip version to the requirements.txt as this will not prevent the error because then pip 24.2 will install all dependencies (including pip 24.0).

I need an option to make sure that a different pip version is already installed before the requirements are installed.

could you please share which dependency doesn't work?

We cannot install omegaconf==2.1.0rc1 (see here) which is a dependency of hydra-core==1.1.0rc1

You can upgrade pip using pre-requirements.txt. (Not sure if competition is shared the same way as normal space)

This issue is stale because it has been open for 15 days with no activity.

Unfortunately the pre-requirements file only affects the leaderboard space but not the individual spaces created to run submissions.

In the meantime we were able to remove this dependency.
Still, I believe for future it would be great to add the feature to control the pip version also of the submission spaces.

we can close this for now.

Thank you.

Once you are done setting up the competition, please let me know and we can put it on the competitions page and share on socials.
