Hi Kaj and Wesley, You are both right. The Python upgrades have proved a problem and it would help to list it in the documents.
The requirements.txt can be too general though using versions "<" or ">". RFSOC is a new development, so I understand there could be bugs. I was more referring to the older developments. My email was not aimed at anyone particular :). I learnt my lesson over the years (or maybe I didn't) and with SKARAB.
