How to build for development? about useful-transformers

[marty1885]

Thanks for the help. Figured out the issues.

1. Must build with Python 3.10. Pybind hasn't support Python 3.11 yet.
2. Must install with python -m pip install .

So the following commands work for me using micromamba (should with conda too).

micromamba create -n useful
micromamba activate useful
micromamba install python==3.10
cd /path/to/useful-transofrmers
python -m pip install .
taskset -c 4-7 python -m useful_transformers.transcribe_wav

Alternatively do the following horrible thing to avoid needing to package each time code change

# Setup your conda/mamba env
# ...
pip install -e .
mkdir useful_transformers
ln -s ./_skbuild/linux-aarch64-3.10/cmake-build/examples/whisper/pybind_whisper.cpython-310-aarch64-linux-gnu.so useful_transformers/pybind_whisper.cpython-310-aarch64-linux-gnu.so 
taskset -c 4-7 python -m useful_transformers.transcribe_wav

I'm expecting that the setup would've shown errors indicating a pybind issue.
What worked for me is to install the unlisted dependencies prior to the dev instalation:

pip install pybind11[global] torch
pip install -e .

@marty1885 The following sequence of commands worked well for me:

$ python -m venv le_us
$ source le_us/
$ source le_us/bin/activate
$ cd useful-transformers/
$ python -m pip install .
$ taskset -c 4-7 python -m useful_transformers.transcribe_wav

This is what I do for local development myself.
If installing the whl file (as specified in README.md) worked for you, then you can build the whl file and install it explicitly as follows:

$ python -m pip wheel .
$ python -m pip install useful_transformers-0.1-cp310-cp310-linux_aarch64.whl

(Note, your exact python version determines the name of the .whl file, so use the one that gets built on your machine.)
