Can someone help on this please?

https://github.com/nmslib/hnswlib/issues/442

seems to be a problem with hnswlib at the moment. Have you tried Python3.10 like in the Dockerfile?

[mausamsion]

Well, it works with same Python and Pip version on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1. Also, the hnswlib version in both cases is same as 0.7.0 I am looking into the hnswlib issues.
