Reproduces the problem - error message

AssertionError: MMDetection 3.2.0 is incompatible with MMOCR 1.0.1. Please use MMDetection >= 3.0.0rc5, < 3.2.0 instead.

Additional information

I tried to install mmocr using mim and followed instructions. On runing the from mmocr.apis import MMOCRInferencer I got AssertionError: MMDetection 3.2.0 is incompatible with MMOCR 1.0.1. Please use MMDetection >= 3.0.0rc5, < 3.2.0 instead. After that I tried to do pip install mmdet==3.1.0, but then I got ERROR: Failed building wheel for mmcv. Could say I got into cycle. I didn't found any issue with this problem. Also this code was working fine a month ago but after the latest update of mmdet 3.2.0 (start of the October 2023), I'm getting this error. Do you know what I can do with this problem or this is some sort of bug?

[branisk]

The issue seems to be the non-inclusivity of the maximum version error checks in the init.py file after the update. I've created pull request #2001 to satisfy this issue.

I install mmocr with these, and it works:

pip install "torch==2.0" "torchvision==0.15" "openmim"
mim install mmocr
