[MatthewARoy]

Resolved when running install on python 3.11 vs 3.12 python3.11 -m pip install metagpt

[iorisa]

Recommend using Python 3.9 or 3.10. Newer versions of Python may encounter situations where pip packages are not yet supported.

[jekriske-lilly]

This isn't a matter of pip packages not yet supported, but rather the dependency versions constraints of MetaGPT are too old.

numpy<1.25.0 being a prime example.

[geekan]

@voidking can you help us test 3.12? If successful, maybe we can add a versioned ci/cd script that does not run by default, but can be triggered manually
