No module named 'cudf' about rapidsai-csp-utils

[adalovelace]

I ran into the same problem. The issue is in the rapidsai-csp-utils/colab/pip-install.py script which throws this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "rapidsai-csp-utils/colab/pip-install.py", line 26, in <module>
    gpu_name = pynvml.nvmlDeviceGetName(pynvml.nvmlDeviceGetHandleByIndex(0)).decode('UTF-8')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

In turn, cudf is not installed and later you get the "No module named 'cudf'" error.

To fix this I copied the script code into a new cell in Colab notebooks and simply removed the decode part from this line https://github.com/rapidsai-community/rapidsai-csp-utils/blob/main/colab/pip-install.py#L26.

Doing this should work and you'll be able to successfully install cudf. You can check it worked by running import cudf in a new cell.

Hope it helped!

Hey @kelemenantal , i tested it on a fresh copy of the template notebook and it worked. Have you tried the most recent template? You can always find them on our website. LMK. I'll leave the closed as it is solved, but we can debug. Also, we can chat on the RAPIDS slack.

Thx a lot, it is working with the template you shared! I have further issues, but it has no contact with the [No module named 'cudf'] so lets leave the case closed.
