`featuretools.list_primitives()` returning wrong descriptions #390

Closed csala closed 5 years ago

csala commented 5 years ago

Bug Description

In featuretools version 0.6.0, the method featuretools.list_primitives() returns the same description for all the primitives of the same type. Also, the description stays consistent if the method is called multiple times, but changes every time the intepreter is restarted:

In [1]: import featuretools                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

In [2]: featuretools.list_primitives().head()
