There is another sktools

Open andrewshyichuk opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

There is this Python module named sktools, a part of sklearn. https://pypi.org/project/sktools/

It has nothing to do with sktools from skprogs.

As reasonable as the sk- prefix is, such a name causes a confusion.

The construction of skprogs environment is smart: it uses its own PYTHONPATH, and in principle everything should work. However, the behaviour with the other sktools installed can potentially become unpredictable. I am simply not an expert to be 100% sure if the present approach is 100% reliable.

That is, I've installed the other sktools at some point, as skprogs complained for the lacking module. That was not the problem, I've solved the problem I had, and now it woks - but now I also have both sktools.

Thanks for pointing that out! We should probably rename our Python package (and block the new name on pypi)...
