Not compatible with python 3.7 about dowhy HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for pointing this out.
DoWhy depends on Pygraphviz for visualization and unfortunately there seems to be a problem in Pygraphviz for Python 3.7. I'm considering moving away from this dependency, allow me a few days to fix this.

from dowhy.

This issue applies also to Python 3.6.6 (on a Windows 10, 64 env). It appears to be a Pygraphviz installation issue.

I removed the dependency on pygraphviz, making it optional. If pygraphviz is not installed, the library falls back to matplotlib and plots causal graph using it. @vnnw @cpoptic can you check if it works for you?

from dowhy.

just did a git pull and pip install -U dowhy and I'm still getting the same result on Python 3.6

import dowhy works with no problems. But when I run from dowhy.do_why import Causal Model it get an error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygraphviz'

So it appears the dowhy package imports fine, but the do_why module is still dependent on pygraphviz.

Thanks @cpoptic Not sure why it still shows an error. I did check with python 3.6 in a virtualenv and it worked.

Maybe an earlier install of dowhy is still being called? To make sure, can you try the following code which relies on the source distribution only (and does not use pip)?

[Run this code from the root directory of dowhy]
`import os, sys
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath("./"))
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

import dowhy
from dowhy.do_why import CausalModel`

Any formal update? Is 3.7 fully supported now?

from dowhy.

@impredicative Yes, it should work in 3.7. Let me know if you face any problems.

from dowhy.

@amit-sharma two weeks with no problem reported -- safe to close?

from dowhy.

yes, closing it now. @impredicative if you face any problems with 3.7, let us know.
