Installing and importing multiple versions of a Python package

Question

I am using Dataiku DSS v6.0 which uses pandas==0.23 and this cannot be manually upgraded. I am also trying to use modin==0.6 , which is only compatible with pandas==0.25 . I have tried using modin==0.3 which requires pandas==0.23 , but this older version is throwing exceptions with some of the pandas methods I am calling.

Is there any workaround to this? Can I somehow force modin==0.6 to accept pandas==0.23 ? Otherwise is there a way in which I can install both pandas==0.23 and pandas==0.25 and force DSS to use 0.23 and modin to use 0.25?

Answer 1

Dataiku is provided with a concept of c ode environments . by using this feature you can have a separated set of dependancies for your own code or for other specific operations.

Answer 2

Starting with DSS 8.0.0 Pandas 1.0 is supported

However, recents versions of modin rely on more recents version of pandas ; modin==0.8.0 allows pandas==1.0.5 so that the most recent version of modin compatible with DSS as of today
