Status: ✅ FIXED!
Problem: Gradio 6.0.0 had breaking API changes
Solution: Downgraded to Gradio 4.44.0
pip install gradio==4.44.0 --force-reinstall
Problem: Version 1.1.5 too new for Gradio 4.44
Solution: Downgraded to 0.36.0
pip install "huggingface-hub<1.0" --force-reinstall
Problem: UnicodeEncodeError with emoji in print()
Solution: Removed emoji from launch message
Changed:
print("🌌 SSZ EXPLORER...")
To:
print("SSZ EXPLORER...")
gradio==4.44.0
huggingface-hub==0.36.0
plotly (already installed)
astropy (already installed)
astroquery (already installed)
pandas==2.3.3
numpy==2.2.6
cd E:\clone\Segmented-Spacetime-StarMaps\ssz_explorer
python gradio_app_extended.py
# App will start at: http://localhost:7860UserWarning: gradio version 4.44.0, however version 4.44.1 is available
→ IGNORE: 4.44.0 works fine
Dependency conflicts with open-webui, oterm, etc.
→ IGNORE: These don't affect SSZ Explorer
python -c "import gradio; print(gradio.__version__)"
# Should show: 4.44.0
python -c "import plotly; print('OK')"
# Should show: OK# Some modules might not be installed yet
# The app will tell you which ones when it tries to import
# Common missing modules:
pip install data_manager # If missing
pip install comparison_visualizations # If missing# If port 7860 is busy, app will fail
# Change port in code or kill existing process✅ Gradio installed (4.44.0)
✅ Dependencies fixed
✅ Encoding issues fixed
✅ App launching...
Expected behavior:
1. Terminal shows "SSZ EXPLORER - COMPLETE EDITION"
2. Gradio starts server
3. Opens at http://localhost:7860
4. 7 tabs visible in browser
- Wait for app to fully load (may take 30-60 seconds first time)
- Open browser to http://localhost:7860
- Test features:
- Multi-Catalog Search
- Exoplanet Search
- Habitable Zone Calculator
- SSZ Orbit Calculator
# Some modules need to be created/exist:
# - data_manager.py
# - comparison_visualizations.py
# - exoplanet_fetcher.py
# - habitable_zone.py
# - ssz_orbits.py
# - cross_matcher.py
# etc.
# These SHOULD exist in ssz_explorer/ folder
# If missing, we need to verify file structure→ Normal! Some features need:
- API keys (NASA, etc)
- Internet connection
- Specific data files
→ Start with simple tests first
✅ Terminal shows: "SSZ EXPLORER - COMPLETE EDITION"
✅ No error messages
✅ Browser opens automatically or manual open works
✅ Gradio interface visible
✅ 7 tabs present
IF ALL TRUE: SUCCESS! 🎉
Status: Dependencies Fixed ✅
Ready: To test! 🚀
