Submission not working - pathlib?

I keep on getting this error message when my submission is being validated:
Failed to evaluate the submission: Evaluation error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pathlib._local'; 'pathlib' is not a package
Does anyone have a solution? I would really appreciate it.

Hi @esaji ! I can confirm it's an issue with python 3.13. If you use something like pyenv you can install the template with aqora --python 3.12 template h2-groundstate-energy or if you want to reinstall in the directory you've already downloaded the template to, you can run aqora clean to remove the old installation and then aqora install --python 3.12 in that directory

Do you mind sharing which version of Python are you working with?

Oh.. I have faced several issues with these notebook installations using python 3.13, I downgraded it to 3.12 and worked fine for me. I am not sure if that works, but you can give it a try

Yeah, I think there might have been such issues related to Python versions as stated below? @julian @antoine
