Python version supported

[RLWOHIO]

What is the latest Python version PheKnowlator supports?
I am having trouble installing https://github.com/callahantiff/PheKnowLator/blob/master/notebooks/requirements.txt. In my Conda env, I tested Python 3.10, 3.12, 3.13; matplotlib=3.3.2 couldn't install. I could install the latest matplotlib. But would that break the workflow elsewhere? Thanks!

conda install matplotlib=3.3.2

Hi @RLWOHIO! PheKnowLator was developed for Python 3.6. This was done to ensure compatibility with some of dependency modules. This should resolve the errors if you install in a clean environment (as you planned ☺️).

Hi @callahantiff , thanks for the quick response. This is very helpful to know. Any plan down the road to update PheKnowLator to a more recent Python release? Thanks again!

@RLWOHIO — it’s definitely on the list of things I’d love to do. Probably not in the immediate future, but I bet it’s something we can shoot for next year for sure! Apologies for the delay, the repo is something I’m now maintaining on the side. That said it is still important to me and updating the Python version is an important next step!
