Challenges we ran into

We ran into multiple hurdles while building this project. Some of the problems we faced were:

  1. Version conflict: Different libraries support different python versions, we overcame this by reading documnentations of these libraries and in some cases we used conda (version independent) and other methods.
  2. Integration: It was a tedious task to integrate our python models to the flutter application. We overcame this by using flask and firebase for storing the data.
