required Theano version

[baharian]

Is it absolutely necessary to have Theano 0.8.2 to properly run DeepSurv? Would DeepSurv fail to function if the Theano version is different from 0.8.2? Installing DeepSurv rolls back my Theano to an older, outdated version.

I haven't used the latest DeepSurv version that just got updated, but I used the previous version (a few weeks ago) and I'm running Theano 0.10.0b1, lasagne 0.2.dev1 without any conflicts on deepsurv.

Thanks! I'll just update my Theano back to the new version then.

Would it break DeepSurv if >= is used, as follows,

install_requires=[
        'theano>=0.8.2',
        'lasagne==0.2.dev1',
        'lifelines>=0.9.2',
        'tensorboard_logger==0.0.3'
]

instead of == in setup.py so installing DeepSurv doesn't overwrite the existing Theano and lifelines packages?

[dareneiri]

I've done something very similar and haven't had any issues.

What I usually do is first install deepsurv, and then manually install theano/lasagne with the bleeding edge version (see their site's documentation) to avoid any issues with theano not installing correctly.

Been working fine with version 0.9.0 for me
