dowhy 0.11.1 dependences looks not being loaded

[Slepetys]

Question: I am running some python notebooks from Alexander Molak's book: "Causal Inference and Discovery in Python", which makes extensive use of DoWhy library. Unfortunately written using the 0.8 version of DoWHy, and when I tried to run it in the most updated 0.11.1, I started to receive errors, such as Not loading econml.dml.DML dependences.

The code from the open source Chapter 7 pynb that is causing the error is:

estimate = model.estimate_effect(
    identified_estimand=estimand,
    method_name='backdoor.econml.dml.DML',
    method_params={
        'init_params': {
            'model_y': GradientBoostingRegressor(),
            'model_t': GradientBoostingRegressor(),
            'model_final': LassoCV(fit_intercept=False),
        },
        'fit_params': {}}
)

And the error is: ImportError: Error loading econml.dml.DML. Double-check the method name and ensure that all econml dependencies are installed.

Version information:

• DoWhy version 0.11.1
• Python 3.11.9

Additional context The git with the Python notebook is in: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Causal-Inference-and-Discovery-in-Python
