Training Deeplab-pytorch on VOC2012 raises metaclass conflict error with TensorFlow 1.10.0 and ANTLR downgrade to 4.8

[Linn0910]

I am attempting to train VOC2012 using your deeplab-pytorch project on Ubuntu 22.04 with Python version 3.6. However, I encountered an issue when running the following command:

(deeplab-pytorch) root@rtx6:/workspace/projects/CLIP-ES/deeplab-pytorch# python main.py train --config-path configs/voc12.yaml

The specific error message is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Attempted Solutions:
I have tried the following solutions:
 Downgraded ANTLR version from 4.13 to 4.8.  And before this, in ANTLR 4.13 I met a error :
raise Exception("Could not deserialize ATN with version " + str(version) + " (expected " + str(SERIALIZED_VERSION) + ").")
Exception: Could not deserialize ATN with version  (expected 4).

So I tried to downgrade ANTLR ,and I met the error above(AugmentParser)

Thank you very much for your assistance!
