Infinite loading when importing libraries

Kernels
1

Hi!
I am facing some issues when importing libraries, as the cell will stay loading [*] and never end. When I start the notebook I can run any python code that doesn’t require external libraries, I can also import numpy, but importing scikit or matplot will end up in this never ending loading cell, that results in a dead kernel.

I have already tried recreating the environment and installing ipykernel to be able to choose the conda environment from the notebook, but it gives the same error. The libraries I am trying to import work perfectly on the environment using the terminal, and I just get this issue when using the notebook. I’ve also tried to import non-installed packages, and for those I do get an output saying that the package doesn’t exist.

I am running macOS 13.0.1 with M1 and conda 22.9.0

Jupyter-troubleshoot returns this:

remove your env, install with python 3.10, then install jupyter with mamba, not with a pip, and install packages that you mentioned with mamba as well

3

Okay, so I did exactly that with the following commands:

>> conda create -n jupyter python=3.10

>> conda activate jupyter
>> conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab
>> conda install -c conda-forge numpy
>> conda install -c conda-forge scikit-learn
>> conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib

and the issue still persists after launching Jupyter-lab and opening a notebook that has more libraries than numpy. I checked the output of conda install, and it seems to be installing the correct libraries for the m1 as packages are prepended with “conda-forge/osx-arm64”.

The issue is still the same, if I run anything on the terminal, it’ll work, but on the notebook it won’t finish importing the libraries:

Also, I just realised that executing commands like %conda list will also have the same problem.

You can save some time, and get a more reproducible environment by creating/checking in an environment.yml:

# environment.yml
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - nodefaults
dependencies:
  - python >=3.10,<3.11
  - jupyterlab
  - numpy
  - scikit-learn
  - matplotlib-base # avoid qt if you can, if having trouble

then, ideally use mamba (win/fail faster, better error messages):

mamba env update -n jupyter --file environment.yml

If you’re still seeing issues, try scaling back the dependencies and rebuild (e.g. start with just jupyterlab and python) in the attempt to bisect what might be causing the issue.

Some other things that would help:

  • a (redacted) log of a minimal kernel startup/run that demonstrates the condition
  • the output of conda info (or mamba info)
  • the output of conda list (or mamba list)

I’ve tried, and I get the same problem. First I created the environment using the environment.yml you recommended and then I dropped matplotlib-base to try with scikit-learn, but the never ending loading cell still happens when importing scikit.

Creating the environment with only jupyterlab and python, and then running %pip list or %conda list in an empty notebook, also has the same problem of a never ending cell.

I don’t know which logs to share tbh, as the terminal doesn’t print any errors, it seems everything is working as usual, so unless there’s a debug mode or sth I am not aware of, it just shows the usual logs of kernel started/restarted/shutdown when I request such actions from the notebook and the usual saves.

I’ve also tried to use a completely clean install of macOS, and then install mamba and create a Jupyter environment with this exact environment.yml

channels:
  - conda-forge
  - nodefaults
dependencies:
  - python >=3.10,<3.11
  - jupyterlab
  - numpy
  - scikit-learn
  - matplotlib-base

and I am having the same problem again, the terminal doesn’t show any error at all aside the usual logging when opening a notebook, shutting down a kernel or restarting it…

7

If anyone is facing this issue, I downgraded to python 3.9 and I am no longer facing this problem.

8

I ran into the same issue today. Was there any other resolution other than a downgrade from python 3.10 to 3.9? This seems to be limited to Jupyter - imports are fine in python & ipython terminal sessions.

9

I have the same issue with python 3.9 when I try to import a py file. It gets forever to import it.
Update: it seems that I have this issue when I run vscode as user with my miniforge env installed for all users. It seems to be a permission issue.
