fwiw I’m not trying to be a dick here.
ML first-timers will probably realize thru bouncing YouTube/Google/Discord that most of the action is happening around pytorch. And a lot of them will bump into the above fail and end up searching this forum.
So it would make sense to have a summary somewhere google-visible. That GitHub issue is a massive wall of text.
In short, you can use your SYSTEM python to create your .venv:
> /usr/bin/python3 -m venv .venv
My mac shows:
> /usr/bin/python3 --version
Python 3.9.6
… and I’m running latest macOS (13.1 Ventura).
If you . .venv/bin/activate you should be able to pip install torch with no problems.
