Lazypredict package should check for dependencies at installation

Hi,

I wanted to give your package a try, but can’t. A bit of description of my setup:

• Operating System: Google Colab Notebook (Linux)
• Python 3.6.9
• lazypredict==0.2.7
• scikit-learn==0.24.0

I’m getting an error just by importing your package.

from lazypredict.Supervised import LazyRegressor

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-85-a096f5bd7a1d> in <module>()
----> 1 from lazypredict.Supervised import LazyRegressor

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/lazypredict/Supervised.py in <module>()
     14 from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler, OneHotEncoder
     15 from sklearn.compose import ColumnTransformer
---> 16 from sklearn.utils.testing import all_estimators
     17 from sklearn.base import RegressorMixin
     18 from sklearn.base import ClassifierMixin

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.utils.testing'

NOTE: If your import is failing due to a missing package, you can
manually install dependencies using either !pip or !apt.

It seems to be a discrepancy between the version of SciKit-Learn I have and the one that LazyPredict expects, since the architecture of sklearn is different.

Shouldn’t you try to make sure that the expected versions of dependency packages are installed ?

Go to Supervised.py and change this line

from sklearn.utils.testing import all_estimators

to

from sklearn.utils import all_estimators

I did this in my environment and it works fine now.

Hi guys, thanks for opening this issue. Indeed, the current version of lazypredict requires that you use the scikit-learn==0.23.1, because a couple things have changed after the sckit-learn upgrade to version 0.24.

We need to update the lazypredict support of scikit-lean.

I’m planning to do this on the next weeks, but if any of you wanted to give a try, please, let me know and go ahead.
