Hi all, I have been using PyMC for ~3 weeks now without issue, however have recently run into some problems when trying to import the package (note, this was not happening as of last week). More specifically, when trying to import pymc3, I get the following error “AttributeError: module ‘arviz’ has no attribute ‘geweke’”
I have tried reinstalling PyMC3 as well as Arviz with no luck, so I am hoping somebody here can help me out, thanks in advance!

Not sure if you are on colab or not, but the root issue is python 3.6. Latest PyMC3 versions (like latest numpy, scipy, matplotlib…) dropped python 3.6 support some months ago, however it looks like we forgot to explicitly drop py3.6 support on ArviZ which results on latest ArviZ being install which is not compatible with pymc3 3.10. Forcing ArviZ<=0.10 (maybe even <=0.11.0) should fix the issue.
If you are not on colab however, I strongly recommend using python>=3.8 and updating to both latest ArviZ and PyMC3
Now running into a new issue when using ArviZ = 0.11.0

Guessing this is a further problem with Python version, now with Theano. I am working on Watson Studio and cannot upgrade my python very easily, so will have to be using older package versions unfortunately
This is already sorted out in the newer releases (in fact, this was never broken with the latest releases of the two packages, we already have extensive testing for that, but it’s not possible to test all old versions) and we can’t go back to already released versions of the packages to edit their requirements. I don’t think there is anything else we can do, if there were please let us know and/or volunteer and help us do it.
Fresh conda environment → conda install pymc3 → immediately get the above problem. Solution suggested by Allen did NOT work for me (instead my kernel dies as soon as I try to import pymc3). python=3.8.8; pymc3=3.8; arviz = 0.11.0 (after downgrade)
