Installation issues with Python 3.7 on Google Colab

[AdarshMJ]

Hi @rusty1s @EdisonLeeeee

I am trying to install PyG on Colab via -

import os
import torch
os.environ['TORCH'] = torch.__version__
print(torch.__version__)
!pip install -q torch-scatter -f https://data.pyg.org/whl/torch-${TORCH}.html
!pip install -q torch-sparse -f https://data.pyg.org/whl/torch-${TORCH}.html
!pip install -q git+https://github.com/pyg-team/pytorch_geometric.git

I get -

1.12.1+cu113
     |████████████████████████████████| 7.9 MB 4.0 MB/s 
     |████████████████████████████████| 3.5 MB 4.1 MB/s 
  Building wheel for torch-geometric (setup.py) ... done

Now when I try to use -

import torch
from torch_geometric.datasets import TUDataset, Planetoid,WebKB,Actor
from torch_geometric.transforms import NormalizeFeatures
dataset = Planetoid(root = 'data/Cora',name='Cora',transform=NormalizeFeatures())

I get an error -

Im supposing this is because Colab still runs on Python 3.7? I tried upgrading the python version to 3.9 but it requires me to manually install all the packages, even pip. Any suggestions to solve this?

Hi @AdarshMJ

This bug seems related to #5537 (comment). For now, I would suggest you to install PyG via pip install torch_geometric rather than from source.

Okay thank you. I will try that

Fixed via #5902.

Thank you!
