Updating pip package with changes in "Support Selector for IDMap #2848"

[ariaattar]

Hi, could you please update the python pip package with the changes in this PR #2848

Currently building from source in a Docker container but the container startup time is very slow!

Thank you.

hi @ariaattar , we don't support installation via pip, please use conda.

Hi! The latest version of faiss-cpu is 1.7.4 (for both pip and conda). And there are no changes from PR #2848 included. Any info on the next release timeline ? Are there any options available except building from source or waiting for the next release ?

hi @vaaliferov , thanks for checking, I can get back to you about when we will publish the next release. In the meantime, you can just use the nightly package that is published daily and includes all commited changes (until the day before), use:

conda install -c pytorch/label/nightly faiss-cpu

@ariaattar why would you need to call faiss.swigfaiss in the first place? Can you try this instead:

if isinstance(faiss_index, faiss.IndexIDMap)
