Python and flash_attn can be incompatible

[clessig]

What happened?

We have python >=3.11 and <3.13 but flash_attn requires 3.12:

WeatherGenerator/pyproject.toml

Line 130 in e75cf1e

{ url = "https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention/releases/download/v2.7.4.post1/flash_attn-2.7.4.post1+cu12torch2.6cxx11abiFALSE-cp312-cp312-linux_x86_64.whl", marker = "sys_platform == 'linux'" },

What are the steps to reproduce the bug?

I think everyone should be using python 3.12 for the time being. There is no reason yet to support other versions and make our lives more complicated.

Yes, agreed. But we don't enforce this in the pyproject.toml:

WeatherGenerator/pyproject.toml

Line 10 in 9478dac

requires-python = ">=3.11,<3.13"

(no change to pyproject.toml is a good first issue)
