HyrbrIK requires a yanked (deprecated) version of opencv python, cannot proceed with install

[SussyImp0ster]

I've been going through the installation process according to the instructions, and everything's been going smoothly up until the second part of step 5. When I tried "python setup.py develop" it seemed to run successfully (despite some deprecation warnings) and install everything, except for opencv python. It gave me this error:

Installed d:\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\easydict-1.13-py3.12.egg Searching for opencv-python==4.1.2.30 Reading https://pypi.org/simple/opencv-python/ No local packages or working download links found for opencv-python==4.1.2.30 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('opencv-python==4.1.2.30')

I also tried doing "pip install -e ." instead but ended up with the same error. So then I tried to install opencv 4.1.2.30 separately (still from within the hybrik environment), only to get the following error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv-python==4.1.2.30 (from versions: 3.4.0.14, 3.4.10.37, 3.4.11.41, 3.4.11.43, 3.4.11.45, 3.4.13.47, 3.4.15.55, 3.4.16.57, 3.4.16.59, 3.4.17.61, 3.4.17.63, 3.4.18.65, 4.3.0.38, 4.4.0.40, 4.4.0.42, 4.4.0.44, 4.4.0.46, 4.5.1.48, 4.5.3.56, 4.5.4.58, 4.5.4.60, 4.5.5.62, 4.5.5.64, 4.6.0.66, 4.7.0.68, 4.7.0.72, 4.8.0.74, 4.8.0.76, 4.8.1.78, 4.9.0.80) ERROR: No matching distribution found for opencv-python==4.1.2.30

After this I went to https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/#history to check if the one version of opencv that hybrik would accept was indeed yanked, and it turned out it was. I tried using the direct .whl download for the required opencv version that was available on the website and install it using that, but when I tried it gave me this error:

ERROR: opencv_python-4.1.2.30-cp38-cp38m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

So it seems I have to downgrade python to version 3.8 for this install to work, but if I remember correctly there are other dependencies which require later versions of python that will fail on an older version like 3.8. Has anyone else run into this problem?
