Import Error: cannot import name 'outcome_constraint_from_str' from 'ax.service.utils.instantiation' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/ax/service/utils/instantiation.py

Consistent error - python version UpToDate as well as python dependencies.

I cannot import Kats anymore because there's an error regarding this function.

I described everything on this stackoverflow question, please give us some feedback on how to solve the issue:

Are you seeing these issues on the latest version of ax-platform (i.e. 0.24)? We recently released this new version which might be breaking kats.

Could you try pinning ax-platform to version 0.23?

@mpolson64 @danielcohenlive

[danielcohenlive]

That would be my bet that you have incompatible versions of kats and ax-platform installed. This will be fixed again in the latest version of kats.

[danielcohenlive]

@fghanduri1 I'm interested in how you got into this state. What installs have you run recently? Also if you wouldn't mind can you post your output from pip freeze and/or conda list depending on what package managers you're using.

[fghanduri1]

I have attempted the following locally and on colab. I tried importing one of kats entities and came up with a ax-outcome_constraint_from_str error- then went to install ax and try importing that way (see ss attached) and came up with the same error.
