ImportError: cannot import name 'COMMON_SAFE_ASCII_CHARACTERS' from 'charset_normalizer.constant' about wandb HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @dbl001 , happy to help. This issue seems to be related to dependency conflicts when updating your environment.

1. First step would be to create new environment

conda create --name new_env python=3.10
conda activate new_env
pip install wandb

Then run simple wandb script

import wandb
wandb.init()
wandb.finish()

2. If you are installing other packages then you might need to pin some versions in your environment and exclude them from updates

• Freeze the versions of these dependencies to prevent them from being updated. Add the following lines to your requirements.txt in environment. charset_normalizer==2.0.4 chardet==4.0.0
• Exclude specific packages from the update.

conda update --all --ignore-installed=charset_normalizer,chardet

Let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks! Pinning to charset_normalizer==2.0.4 resolved this.

 % conda list charset-normalizer
# packages in environment at /Users/davidlaxer/anaconda3/envs/AI-Feynman:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
charset-normalizer        2.0.4              pyhd3eb1b0_0

Glad to hear that @dbl001 , we'll mark this as resolved and feel free to reach us out again for any concern. Thanks!
