No module named geoutils.georaster

when loading xdem into Jupyter, it cannot find the geoutils.georaster module. Geoutils version: 0.1.1.

Hi @MightyFineMoraine,
Strange that you would have xDEM installed with a version of GeoUtils superior than 0.0.15, the latest xDEM release (0.0.18) is forcing GeoUtils to 0.0.15 in dependencies: https://github.com/GlacioHack/xdem/blob/v0.0.18/dev-environment.yml#L18 (same in requirements.txt).

Maybe you did a developer install, or forced a version change through a forced pip install?
Can you try if normal install works for you?

Also just checked xDEM's conda feedstock which is also rightfully forcing GeoUtils to 0.0.15 (https://github.com/conda-forge/xdem-feedstock/blob/main/recipe/meta.yaml#L42), with all tests passing.
So normally classic install should work 😉

I had installed them separately; uninstall and reinstall of only xdem sorted it. Thanks!

Perfect! Closing this issue.

FYI, I did the same thing, i.e. installed geoutils and xdem separately, got the same problem and solved it with the same solution.

@jbbarre Thanks for bringing this up, I wasn't expecting this to still be an issue in the latest releases. I'll look into it.

Tested with both conda and pip: both direct xdem install, and geoutils then later xdem now work.
Might have been related to GeoPandas dropping Fiona as a fixed dependency (fixed a couple days ago #559), or a relic of our previous issues in older releases that are now fixed (in #536 notably). Those are now tested in CI to avoid running into these issues again in the future!
