Hello everyone,

  I have recently reinstalled Anaconda Navigator 1.10.0 with Python 3.8.5 and I'm having trouble installing OpenOrb (Robert Jedicke has also run into issues as well). I've attempted to install Oorb using the GitHub 'Installing openorb' instructions for the Conda Installer recommended installation method (https://github.com/conda-forge/openorb-feedstock), but I've run into errors.  Has anyone recently installed Oorb with this version of Python and are there new instructions for the Conda Installer method?

If it helps, here are the issues I ran into when trying the 'conda install openorb':
1. Computer was stuck in 'solving environment' state.
2. Very long message about incompatibilities and conflicts.  When I searched for OpenOrb versions on my computer I saw quite a few, but Python was still unable to import open orb for use.

This is the beginning of a long list of issues following the Oorb installation attempt:

(base) sarahshores@Sarahs-MacBook-Pro ~ % conda install openorb

Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

Hello all,

To follow up, I was able to get Python 3.7.10 on my computer and OpenOrb works fine with the normal conda installer.  It would still be nice to know if anyone has installed Oorb with Python 3.8 versions. 

Best,
Sarah

This is only installation via conda, right? You didn't try installing directly from source?

I have pyoorb working with python 3.8.5 but my pyoorb install was from source.

Sarah and I were both unable to install via conda with python 3.8.5.
