Description
Description
Installing the project on Python 3.13 fails during dependency installation, specifically while building spaCy and its dependency blis.
Steps to Reproduce
- Clone the repository
- Create a virtual environment with Python 3.13
- Run
pip install -r requirements.txt - Observe the error regarding torch version
Expected Behavior
Dependencies should either install successfully or provide a clear message
about unsupported Python versions.
Actual Behavior
The installation fails with errors indicating that blis cannot be built.
Root Cause
spaCy depends on blis, which uses CPython internal C APIs that are not yet
compatible with Python 3.13. As a result, no wheels are available and source
builds fail.
Suggested Fix
- Explicitly document supported Python versions (e.g., 3.9–3.11)
Environment
- OS: macOS (Apple Silicon)
- Python: 3.13.x
- pip: latest
