I shouldn’t have this issue then. But a couple of days ago I tried new versions of kohya, sdwebui and tgwebui and none of their convoluted setup batches shared downloads. Btw sdwebui broke itself irrepairably in half an hour by failing installing an extension that works in a sibling folder. Kohya spoiled right away without my intervention. Only tgwebui survived. I’m not doung anything wrong, since there’s not much to do apart from waiting for hours.
I’m not updating in-folder because of deep scars from the last time I did that.
Maybe these issues are not inherent to python, but for some reason AI projects tend to go out of their way to make easy installers. That must mean something at least.
