Problem with setup - versions control

[daphna-kaplan]

I am having trouble with my installations, and would love to know from one of you who did manage to install and run what are your versions.
I tried:

Python3.7 with tensorflow 1.8/1.6/1.5 - all leading to missing modules such as:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_pywrap_tensorflow_internal'
I followed this thread about it: tensorflow/tensorflow#20690

Python3.6.8 with tensorflow 1.6.0:
tensorflow couldn't be installed due to
protobuf requires Python '>=3.7' but the running Python is 3.6.8

I got it working in python 3.6.4 through anaconda

I then just ran pip install -r requirements.txt and then python demo.py

I got this working on modern arch linux with python 3.6 by modifying requiments.txt:

matplotlib==2.1.0
pandas==1.0.0
scikit-learn==0.19.1
scipy==1.0.0
svgwrite==1.1.12
tensorflow==1.6.0
protobuf==3.19.6
numpy==1.17

and then using pyenv to get python 3.6

# install pyenv, e.g. pacman -S pyenv on arch linux
pyenv install 3.6
pyenv shell 3.6
python -mvenv .venv --prompt handwriting
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python demo.py
