SW suite python

Hello, Hailo
i have some question.

Q1) If I install AI SW Suite Docker, python3.10 will be installed, but it’s different from my environment. Can I install or change it to a different version?

Q2) Is the HEF file that transformed the model in an environment with python3.10 available in python3.8 version of runtime environment?

thanks.

  1. The Docker works with a specific Python version. If you want to work with a different Python version, I recommend to install the whl packages you need one by one in the environment of your choice. Note that the latest release does not support Python 3.8 any more. The last versions that supported Python 3.8 were HailoRT v4.21 / Dataflow Compiler v3.31.
  2. The HEF does not depend on the Python version, but it might depend on the Dataflow Compiler / HailoRT version. So please make sure you use the HailoRT version that matches the Dataflow Compiler version that you used to generate the HEF.
