Hi, thanks for the feedback. For me it was not possible to replicate this issue in google colab. !pip install TSInterpret works fine with python 3.9 for me. Can you maybe give a few more details (e.g., Python version, GPU/ CPU ) ?

Thank a lot in advance. Best Jacqueline

!pip install TSInterpret

it works with

!git clone https://github.com/fzi-forschungszentrum-informatik/TSInterpret.git
!cd TSInterpret && pip install -e .

but this isn't great as many people consider tools like Colab to tinker with new tools.

For Completeness:

Issue also occurs when installing TSInterpret in python 3.7. due to deprecation of sklearn. Can currently not be solved for python 3.7. due to dependencies of used packages (e.g., mkdocs relies on sklearn).

Preferably use python >= 3.9. .
