Keras h5py Version Mismatch

Hi Guix!

It would seem that the current keras version expects an earlier h5py version for loading models. Specifically, running:

from tensorflow.keras.models import load_model

model = load_model("model.h5")

fails with:

File "/gnu/store/idfn4l2kxil9id21v1yci4jcw6103fah-profile/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/engine/saving.py", line 228, in load_model

model_config = json.loads(model_config.decode('utf-8'))

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

The above works fine in my local pip environment (see below). A quick search online indicates that this can be fixed by downgrading h5py to version 2.10. The current h5py version in guix is 3.6.

My assumption is that this could also be fixed with an upgrade to keras, but upgrading keras sounds much more involved. For a short-term fix, would it be possible to add back a package definition for an earlier h5py in addition to the current version? I'm sure an appropriate version exists somewhere in guix's git history, though my git-foo is too weak for me to check.

Thanks,

Zacchae

P.S.

working (pip): keras 2.10.0, h5py 3.7.0

not working (current guix): keras 2.2.4, h5py 3.6.0

Well, the update of Keras to 2.11.0 (the current latest) requires some

work. First, fetch from Github instead of PyPI because the sources are

not available after v2.6.0; e.g.,

https://pypi.org/project/keras/2.11.0/#files

Then, second adapt the recipe. Do you want to give a try?

Hi,

I should probably mention that I am not looking into this. I want to learn more guix, but keras and the additional dependencies required for later versions is kind of a monster to me at the moment.

Thanks,

Zacchae
