As 3.11.11 Python version rolled out in Jan-2025 in Google Colab Runtime, Ta-Lib Library stopped working.

Earlier I used to install Ta-Lib as below in Colab:

url = '.4.0/download/linux-64/libta-lib-0.4.0-h166bdaf_1.tar.bz2'
!curl -L $url | tar xj -C /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ lib --strip-components=1
url = '.4.19/download/linux-64/ta-lib-0.4.19-py310hde88566_4.tar.bz2'
!curl -L $url | tar xj -C /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ lib/python3.10/site-packages/talib --strip-components=3
import talib

Current Error:

I have updated the answer in the original question. I copy it here just in case.

url = 'https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/libta-lib/0.4.0/download/linux-64/libta-lib-0.4.0-h166bdaf_1.tar.bz2'
!curl -L $url | tar xj -C /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ lib --strip-components=1
!pip install conda-package-handling
!wget https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ta-lib/0.5.1/download/linux-64/ta-lib-0.5.1-py311h9ecbd09_0.conda
!cph x ta-lib-0.5.1-py311h9ecbd09_0.conda
!mv ./ta-lib-0.5.1-py311h9ecbd09_0/lib/python3.11/site-packages/talib /usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/
import talib

It takes about 3 minutes, however won't break at the next update.

%%bash
wget https://github.com/TA-Lib/ta-lib/releases/download/v0.6.4/ta-lib-0.6.4-src.tar.gz
tar -xf ta-lib-0.6.4-src.tar.gz && cd ta-lib-0.6.4/
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install
python -m pip install ta-lib==0.6
