The community members are discussing an issue with installing the llama-index library. The original poster tried installing Python 3.11, but that did not resolve the issue. The comments suggest that the issue may be related to the Python version or the pip version. Community members recommend using a Docker image with Python 3.8 or greater, as installing new Python versions can cause problems. They also suggest checking the requirements for the fsspec library and running a verbose pip install to get more information about the issue. One community member points to a related issue with the fsspec library and suggests that a minimum Python version of 3.8 may be reasonable.
relaxing the fsspec minimum version is reasonable, but python 3.6 is no longer supported by Python. 3.7 is also EOL in a month -- https://www.python.org/downloads/. I think it is reasonable to require 3.8 as a minimum.
