Error while running autotvm demo

Hello, when I was running the autotvm demo: Tuning High Performance Convolution on NVIDIA GPUs — tvm 0.10.dev0 documentation I found that there is an error

Traceback (most recent call last):

Process finished with exit code 1

I did not change anything, just changed the number of trials.

Looks like it’s because of the error from the Python interpreter. TVM only supports Python 3.7+ (3.6 may work, not sure about it)

#3

Great! Thanks a lot! My Python version is 3.8. After change it to 3.7, the code works.

I thank maybe the document need to be changed because now it says Python 3.8 is well supported.

Thank you again!

3.8 should work. There are no changes to sys.meta_path in recent Python versions. See sys — System-specific parameters and functions — Python 3.10.6 documentation

Personally, Python 3.8 and 3.9 both work for me in my env
