Successfully installed catboost wants to import as _catboost #40 about dbt-fal

[chamini2]

it seems that this is a library, I think this is more about how catboost installs than dbt-fal itself.

https://github.com/catboost/catboost/blob/d6172a4e4b11f485c416368461feae3f3ce98745/catboost/python-package/catboost/_catboost.pyx

Hmm. It installs fine outside of dbt-fal though.

CatBoostRegressor appears to be exported out of the package level init.py from core.py. I'm not familiar with why a cython script file in the same directory would interfere?

[chamini2]

can you add more details around

[builder]  [info]    Successfully installed [...] catboost-1.2.2 [...]

see if we can find a hint there

I had a look over this too, nothing jumped out at me, but I'm not an expert.

This log ended with a silly error on my part when trying to run the python model -- after fixing the obvious, I get the errors as quoted in the bug report.

Can you try to build it with a conda environment instead?

environments:
  - name: ml
    type: conda
    packages:
      - scipy
      - pandas
      - numpy
      - statsmodels
      - catboost

@chamini2 noted, but seriously struggling to get conda functional. I've tried so many things. Should this be a no-brainer? Or does this actually give you info?

No matter what I try, I get

Could not find conda executable. If conda executable is not available by default, please point isolate to the path where conda binary is available 'ISOLATE_CONDA_HOME'.

You need to have conda installed to be able to use this, but I think will make your use case work.

Yeah, I installed conda, tried setting the env var to every level of the install location, and activated it in the same shell, all with no joy. Great the hear that it sounds positive for the venv type.

Any luck here?
