I am currently trying to install the TFOD API according to the instructions in the "Installing the TensorFlow Object Detection API" blog-post. But, it does not specify which python version that should be used. This is not arbitrary as not all python versions support the version of tensorflow that is recommended for download (1.12). Python 3.11 did not support installation of TF 1.12 at least. So it would be great if you could specify which version of python you recommend, and also provide a guide of how to download alternate versions of Python as this too is not an easy task.

I see now in that you specified that you were using python 3.6 in the guide, So I switched to python 3.6.10. But, I am struggling to download some of the packages listed in the guide. Specifically, I get errors when I am building the wheels for
imutils
termcolor

FIRST
numpy
scipy

jupyter
Pillow
imutils

Hi, @yohannjs TensorFlow 1.12 is compatible with Python 2.7 and Python 3.4-3.7. It's generally recommended to use the latest version of Python that is compatible with TensorFlow. For TensorFlow 1.12, that would be Python 3.7. However, I would recommend you use our development environments for a smooth experience.
