Update metric-learn to work with the most recent scikit-learn when doing pytest #311

Closed wdevazelhes closed 3 years ago

wdevazelhes commented 3 years ago

There seems to have been some changes in scikit-learn's new version (0.24): I have the following errors ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.utils.testing' when calling pytest on metric-learn (after a fresh clone of master on a conda env with scikit-learn 0.24). The reason is the one from this comment https://github.com/uber/causalml/issues/285#issuecomment-762435858:

The sklearn.utils.testing module is deprecated in version 0.22 and will be removed in version 0.24. The corresponding classes / functions should instead be imported from sklearn.utils. Anything that cannot be imported from sklearn.utils is now part of the private API.

Indeed! We can also still import private functions from sklearn.utils._testing

We should however ensure back-compatibility with previous versions of sklearn (since we allow scikit-learn>=0.20.3). One option is to do something similar to https://github.com/uber/causalml/pull/283

Thanks for the reference @bellet, I just opened a PR to try fix the imports using this technique, and add the travis job to ensure it is indeed still back-compatible https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/metric-learn/pull/313
