pip._vendor.resolvelib.resolvers.ResolutionTooDeep: 200000

Question

I encountered the error "ResolutionTooDeep: 200000" when attempting to install TensorFlow Extended (TFX) on Ubuntu 22.04 using the command 'pip install tfx.'

Error Picture Install tfx

I tried installing TFX using the pip command mentioned above. I expected the installation to proceed without errors, but instead, I received the mentioned error.

PS: Before I installed TFX, I installed TensorFlow, Flask, etc., using this command: "pip install jupyter scikit-learn tensorflow flask joblib".

Answer 1

I figured it out how to install tfx without any error using this command:

pip install --extra-index-url https://pypi-nightly.tensorflow.org/simple --pre tfx

Thanks to this github issue https://github.com/tensorflow/tfx/issues/5930, I was able to install tfx.

Answer 2

I also believe that this fix has been added in the beta version released today (pip 20.2b1) which can be used by doing pip install -U pip --pre which upgrades pip to the beta version.
