"module 'dask_xgboost' has no attribute * erors"

[DKorman]

Hello,

I am experiencing strange behaviour when trying to use dask-xgboost. I am on Windows 10 machine and am using Python 3.7. I am trying to test dask on a local machine first with a local cluster.

I have no errors when importing dask_xgboost, but when I try to call any of it's functions I get a no attribute error. For some reason I am unable to use this package. Two examples that throw the error: 1) bst = dask_xgboost.train(client, params, X_train, y_train, num_boost_round=10) --> no attribute train 2) model = dxgb.XGBClassifier() --> no attribute Xgb

This is probably something silly and perhaps Windows related.

Thanx for any help!

Most likely it's not installed properly. How'd you install dask-xgboost?

[DKorman]

I was using the GUI of pycharm to install it with the Conda package manager.

Can you create a new conda environment and post the output of installing dask-xgboost?

This is the command line output after installing dask-xgboost using anaconda prompt:

This is output fresh after new environment, without dask installed.

[TomAugspurger]

Yeah, that didn't install correctly. I'm not entirely sure why though.

Is that from the conda-forge channel? May need to make a new release / build.

[DKorman]

Hmm, I didnt specify to use forge channel. Does it redirect to it if it doesnt find the item on the primary channel?

Depends on your conda config. conda config --show-sources
