On my space here,

[https://huggingface.co/spaces/Lycoris53/test\_build](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Lycoris53/test_build)

Since today Cython3.0 release, I could not get pyopenjtalk to compile.  
Current solution is to add --no-build-isolation when calling pip.  
It seems that I cannot add this command in the requirements.txt.

How do I modify the command calling the pip in the gradio spaces?  
Any help is appreciate.

Solved, I changed the space configuration from gradio space to docker space and config pip command to use --no-build-isolation.

I didn’t know before that you can change the space type just by changing Readme file.

perfect, this was the best approach indeed, if you use a specific pip command, you can’t overwrite the base Dockerfile for the Gradio SDK, so we recommend using the a Dockerfile, for example
