graspologic dependency pulls in gensim<=3.9 which fails to build on Python 3.12+ #5
Description
I had trouble getting this work with pipx install graphifyy. Needed pyenv, and with that setup, the skill itself did not work.
Low effort Claude explanation:
Environment
- Python 3.12+ (tested on 3.14)
- macOS (Apple Silicon)
pipx install graphifyy
Problem
Installing graphifyy fails on Python 3.12+ because of a transitive dependency chain:
graphifyy → graspologic → gensim>=3.8.0,<=3.9.0 → requires numpy<1.20 to build → numpy<1.20 doesn't support Python 3.12+
The failure during pip install:
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute '__NUMPY_SETUP__'
gensim 3.8–3.9 reads numpy.__NUMPY_SETUP__ during its build, which was removed in numpy 1.20. numpy 1.20 itself dropped support for Python 3.12.
Workaround
Install using Python 3.11 via pyenv:
pyenv install 3.11
pipx install graphifyy --python ~/.pyenv/versions/3.11.*/bin/python3.11Secondary issue
The skill (SKILL.md) checks installation and invokes the library with python3, which refers to the system Python — not the pipx venv where graphify is actually installed. So even after a successful install via pipx, /graphify fails with ModuleNotFoundError.
The skill should derive the Python interpreter from the graphify binary's shebang rather than calling python3 directly:
$(head -1 $(which graphify) | tr -d '#!') -c "from graphify.detect import detect ..."

Fixed in v2 branch. graspologic is now optional — graphify falls back to NetworkX's built-in louvain_communities if graspologic isn't installed. Install with just pip install graphifyy (no graspologic needed). For best clustering quality, pip install graphifyy[leiden] to get Leiden via graspologic.
