Note that only the latest bug fix version is listed, but all preceding bug fix minor versions are supported. For example, although only version 2.2.2 is listed, version 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 are also supported.

On macOS and Windows, PyTorch<2.0.0 does only support Python<3.11.

Development

For development, additionally install the following tools in your environment.

mamba install black covdefaults mypy pre-commit pylint pytest pytest-cov pytest-xdist tox
pip install pytest-random-order

With pip, add the option -e for installing in development mode, and add [dev] for the development dependencies

pip install -e .[dev]

The pre-commit hooks are initialized by running the following command in the root of the repository.

pre-commit install

For testing all Python environments, simply run tox.

tox

Note that this randomizes the order of tests but skips "large" tests. To modify this behavior, tox has to skip the optional posargs.

tox -- test
