Cannot install Openvino with pip

Question

I'm trying to install Openvino to convert a Keras model into a representation for the inference engine. I'm running the command:

python3 openvino/tools/mo/mo_tf.py —model_13.h5/ --input_shape=\[180,180\]

This returns the error:

from openvino.tools.mo.subprocess_main import subprocess_main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openvino'

I've tried pip install openvino but consistently get:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement openvino (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for openvino

To try and make sure the versions of python for running the script and installing Openvino are the same, I've tried:

python3 -m pip install openvino

The content of the mo_tf.py script is simply:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from openvino.tools.mo.subprocess_main import subprocess_main
    subprocess_main(framework='tf')

Has anyone seen this issue and found a workaround?

Answer 1

The latest version of openvino is 2021.4.2. The list of packages to download by pip includes packages for Python 3.6-3.9 for Linux, MacOS on Intel, and Windows; only packages for 64-bit platforms are provided. No packages for Python 3.10 and no source code.

The solution is either to compile from sources, or install with Docker or install from Anaconda. Or downgrade to Python 3.9.
