Why does an ImportError occur when using 'fsspec' with Python block, Pandas, and s3fs library?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

I’ve got a cowork using python block and Pandas. They also mentioned they are trying to use library fsspec for use in the library s3fs. I’m not familiar with this, but they said they got the following error.

ImportError
Missing optional dependency ‘fsspec’. Use pip or conda to install fsspec

Maybe this is a magic comment moment?

Hi , I tried to import s3fs and it works fine. Would you mind checking again on your side?

will do

And all seems to be working now for my data scientist. Thank you.
