I suspect that the source of the problem is the change in the environment because the same version of the same notebook did work previously.

FYI - @proppy

Looks like this is due to https://github.com/RTimothyEdwards/open_pdks/commit/1683283a55ace46a24193f37b39cf271a5ab1808

You can workaround this by selecting a different version for open_pdks_version in the first cell:

1.0.397

We should probably pin dependencies, and have a bot similar to https://github.com/regro/cf-scripts that bump package versions.
