[Proposal] Update cython dependency to cython 3
evan0greenup opened this issue · comments
Proposal
Currently, the dependency specifier on cython is cython < 3. It would be good to port gymnasium to cython 3.
Motivation
User whose project need both cython 3 and gymnasium would have problem. And cython 3 fix a lot of bugs.
Checklist
- I have checked that there is no similar issue in the repo
cython<3 to use the old mujoco-py binaries for the v2 and v3 of those requirements, if you are not using them you can safely use cython>=3
I think we all admit that mujoco-py and mujoco-series "-v2" environments are annoying and not as good as new version. But the problem is that they are still widely used since the research cummunity still uses mujoco-py frequently for online or offline RL. To validate this, just search RL related paper randomly in this year or check the new issues in mujoco-py repo. To compare with new/old baselines/benchmarks people have to use old "-v2" version.
Moreover, the dependency for cython could be simplely updated by this PR openai/mujoco-py#782. So it would be really really very very appreciated to adjust mujoco-py to cython>3.
I disklike Mujoco-py, it's really annoying but I think many people still have to use it for a long time.
Mujoco-py is hosted and maintained by OpenAI, not Farama, therefore, there is nothing that we can do to apply the PR you link above.
We understand your annoyance with v2 and plan to remove them in the future but this isn't a problem and if you don't download gymnasium[mujoco-py] then this issue shouldn't effect you
Only "gymnasium[mujoco-py]" is limited to cython < 3, therefore, for users needing cython 3 then they cannot use mujoco-py (from pypi) or must build from source with the linked solution.
Therefore, closing as not a gymnasium issue
