python 3.10 required for install

[jowparks]

Was stuck in a loop of trying to resolve boto/botocore dependencies. Figured out it was because my virtualenv was 3.9, the install only works with 3.10. The repo should be updated.

If you’re lucky the build may finish and the terminal will finish all [7/7] steps (skip ahead to Running the MeloTTS model). If you’re less lucky like me your process will get stuck trying to install the following dependency over and over in step [5/7]:

 => => # Downloading botocore-1.21.5-py3-none-any.whl (7.7 MB)
 => => #   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 7.7/7.7 MB 21.8 MB/s eta 0:00:00
 => => # Collecting boto3<2.0,>=1.0
 => => # Downloading boto3-1.18.4-py3-none-any.whl (131 kB)
 => => #   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 131.6/131.6 kB 17.8 MB/s eta 0:00:00

I had the same issue yesteday, finally installed some ready to use docker image from 3rd party. I tried to modify the setup script (eg. --no-deps) but I failed.

Both docker and local worked for me if I used python 3.10

Thank you this helped! I had to add the following line to melo/app.py in order to get the docker container to work as well.

import nltk
nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger_eng')

For anyone getting the following HTTPClientError issue with python 3.9

Upgrading to python 3.10 as suggested above should fix it. Posting this for better/easier searchability
