Python 3.10 (and thus also Arm Macs) not supported?

[Patronics]

The universal (Arm-compatible) version of stt is only available for python 3.10, while attempting to install this from pypi for python 3.10 fails with the error ERROR: Cannot install coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.10, coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.11, coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.12, coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.14, coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.15, coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.16, coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.17, coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.18, coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.8 and coqui-stt-model-manager==0.0.9 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

and from attempting to build and install from source using "make install" from a fresh clone fails with the error ERROR: Package 'coqui-stt-model-manager' requires a different Python: 3.10.2 not in '<3.10,>=3.6'

That patch is necessary but insufficient for M1 Macs.

This is an issue with STT on your platform, not with the model manager. If you can't install and import stt on your machine , then you can't use the manager.

If you are using Apple silicon, make sure you can install and import stt on your platform (python version + CPU arch. combo) first.

If you can install and import stt from the pypi repo using pip install stt then the model manger will be able to find the latest version of STT compatible with your platform by itself.

Otherwise, you can try to build and install stt yourself for your platform and then install the model manager.

I'll close this issue as there is nothing the manger can do. Checkout coqui-ai/STT#2197 to see the status of this ImportError on Apple silicon macs.
