Import Error because of python depreciation

[jakobsarthur]

I got the following error upon loading premise (from premise import *) ImportError: cannot import name 'Iterable' from 'collections' (/usr/local/anaconda3/envs/premise_bw2_ei39/lib/python3.11/collections/init.py) in python 3.11

A quick investigation pointed me to the following warning in python 3.9: "DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs from 'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is deprecated since Python 3.3, and in 3.10 it will stop working"

The culprit seems to be in the 'sparse' module, which gets installed through the premise dependencies. Full error message below:

The installed sparse module seems an old version, 0.3.1 was installed, latest pypi version 0.14.0

[romainsacchi]

By upgrading sparse to 0.14, did it solve the issue?

[jakobsarthur]

yes!

[romainsacchi]

Thanks, I'll specify that version.
