tpot 0.12.1 doesn't work with python 3.12

Issue

tpot 0.12.1 doesn't work with python 3.12 because it attempts to import imp in base.py. Suggesting you change tpot_python in the recipe to specify 3.11 as the max python version currently supported.

Installed packages

python tpot numpy pandas

Environment info

n/a

Probably no version of tpot ever has worked with python 3.12. So even if changed on the feedstock (on e.g. #38), it would take additional work to make something useful happen (a solver would just go walk back to the previous version).

If this support is important for you, it would likely be most useful to continue the conversation upstream on EpistasisLab/tpot#1327

[petervanwylen]

I see you updated the recipe. Thank you! What this means is that someone typing "conda create -n automl tpot numpy pandas" at least will get a functional environment as it'll know to not install python 3.12 but to bump it down to 3.11.

There is no guarantee of that, it might just pull an older tpot that doesn't have the pin.

[petervanwylen]

Ahh... I see it now. I didn't fully understand that the solver might go that direction instead.

Could add a repodata patch for the old versions to add an upper bound

Admittedly some of them may need an even lower upper bound that just 3.12 (like if they don't work with 3.11 either for example)

Here is an example: conda-forge/conda-forge-repodata-patches-feedstock#584

[bollwyvl]

Yep, on it. noarch: python was added 0.11.2, so nothing prior to that is affected by this incompatibility.

Here's the basic idea (still waiting for the diff):

# uses now-removed `imp` module, see:
# - https://github.com/conda-forge/tpot-feedstock/issues/39
# - https://github.com/EpistasisLab/tpot/issues/1327
if:
  name: tpot
  version_lt: 0.12.2
  version_ge: 0.11.2
  timestamp_lt: 1708983815000
then:
  - tighten_depends:
      name: python
      upper_bound: 3.12

Got this up, but had some local issues vs anaconda.org: conda-forge/conda-forge-repodata-patches-feedstock#673
