ImportError: cannot import name 'patched_decoder' from 'src'

[fahdmirza]

Hi, I am trying to get it installed on Ubuntu 22.04 and followed the steps to create conda environment in GPU, installed all the pre-reqs and then when trying to import the timesfm, it gives following error:

simple:

$ cd /timesfm/src/
$ python
>>> import timesfm
...

Or

cd /timesfm/
pip install -e .

Yes tried that already. Same error.

same exact issue here

You must run the python file with the conda environment. You cannot import timesfm elsewhere because it is only installed to the conda environment.

conda activate tfm_env

The above issue is happening in conda too and without conda too.

Okay I see, I had the same issue. I believe it goes away when you append the timesfm folder directly to the python code and run with conda. Add the following lines:

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/kasm-user/Documents/timesfm') # replace with path to timesfm dir

KeyboardInterrupt

Still doesnt work.

[fahdmirza]

Sorry which first Python file?

[nxfi777]

Sorry which first Python file?

remove what I said from timesfm.py. You should be importing timesfm into a python script outside of the folder. If you get the patched_decoder error, add the lines I said to the start.

For me I solve this error by just running the py file from shell Spyder and other IDE gives problems didn't try any other IDE still pretty weird

[fahdmirza]

Still doesn't work. I think I will wait for a stable and proper version

I think I found a fix-all. Navigate to the timesfm directory, then to the src folder and edit the timesfm.py code. Inject the following lines:

import sys
sys.path.append(path.dirname(path.abspath(__file__)))

So the final import structure for patched_decoder should look like this:

from praxis.layers import transformers

import sys
sys.path.append(path.dirname(path.abspath(__file__)))

import patched_decoder

[SpirosM10]

from . import patched_decoder

This fixed it

[fahdmirza]

No it doesn't fix it. Still same error. This model should never have been released in this buggy state. At least do the basic testing before releasing it. Very disappointing. Not wasting any more time on this.

The model works for me. You probably don't know how to import the package correctly.

No it doesn't work, and I know how to import stuff. Are you one of the developer? Anyway instead of judging me, would have been better if you have shown your whole code here which 'works'.

This fixes the issue. Tested on multiple environments.
