Lower python version needed

[shoebjoarder]

The current version of the Python used in the Dockerfile is 3.7.17. This is not recommended because in order to make the SIFRank algorithm work, both backend-api and backend-worker must be downgraded to 3.7.2. This is causing the backend-worker service to get stuck, e.g., [2023-08-07 13:24:13,226: WARNING/ForkPoolWorker-1] compute papers' keywords, and the stuck loading screen in the frontend.

Tried by building docker container python 3.7.1 from source

FROM debian:buster
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
 wget \
 build-essential \
 libffi-dev \
 libssl-dev \
 zlib1g-dev \
 sqlite3 \
 libsqlite3-dev \
 libbz2-dev

RUN wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.1/Python-3.7.1.tgz \
 && tar -xvf Python-3.7.1.tgz \
 && cd Python-3.7.1 \
 && ./configure --enable-optimizations \
 && make altinstall

# Set the Python version
ENV PYTHON_VERSION python3.7
...
# RUN python -m venv $VIRTUAL_ENV
RUN $PYTHON_VERSION -m venv $VIRTUAL_ENV

Unfortunately, it didn't help. Expecting an issue with the downloaded StanfordCoreNLP.

RIMA-Backend runs on Python 3.9.x.
