it is a pickle issue
‘package model doesn’t exist’

Sounds like it, why do you think clearml has anything there ?
BTW:

import_bind

.

__patched_import3

this is just so when packages that clearml autoconnects with are patched if imported After Task.init was called.

Nice workaround!
RoughTiger69 how do I reproduce this behavior? (I'm still unsure on why exactly the clearml binding broke it, and would like to fix that)
(can you also provide the crash trace, maybe that could help as well)

python 3.8
I’ve worked around the issue by doing:
sys.modules['model'] = local_model_package

I will try and get back to this area of the code soon

What's the python, torch, clearml version?
Any chance this can be reproducible ?
What's the full error trace/stack you are getting?
Can you try to debug it to where exactly it fails here?

RoughTiger69 wdyt?

I think it has something to do with clearml since I can run this code as pure python without clearml, and when I activate clearml, I see that torch.load() hits the

import_bind

.

__patched_import3

when trying to deserialize the saved model

it is a pickle issue
‘package model doesn’t exist’

despite me attempting to add the right path to sys.path right before loading

RoughTiger69 can you share the python version and the logs?

Hi RoughTiger69

unfortunately, the model was serialized with a different module structure - it was originally placed in a (root) module called

model

....

Is this like a pickle issue?

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work inside clear.ml since there is some mechanism that overrides the import mechanism using

import_bind

.

__patched_import3

What error are you getting? (meaning why isn't it working)
