func_adl_servicex no longer working with servicex

[andresailer]

Dear Developers,

The latest version of func_adl_servicex does not work with the latest version of the servicex package.

$ source /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/dev3python312/latest/x86_64-el9-gcc13-opt/setup.sh
$ python -c "import func_adl_servicex"
Traceback (most recent call last):

Will there be an update for this package, or is it considered obsolete?

Thanks!

Hi @andresailer , while waiting for @gordonwatts to comment, I assume you are trying to run some particular ServiceX query? I may be able to help (almost certainly we need to do an update to the latest API).

Hi @ponyisi

Thanks for your offer, however, we are providing the LCG software stacks (/cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg), and a user requested the installation of func_adl_servicex in the past. While updating to the latest packages to make things work with python 3.12 we noticed that one can no longer use the func_adl_servicex package the import just doesn't work.
Thus we would either need an update, or drop it form the stacks, if it is no longer needed.

Cheers!

OK, yes, this package is not compatible with the latest servicex Python package version. @gordonwatts should still comment but it should be safe to remove from the LCG stack.

[gordonwatts]

Sorry - I would remove this. With the latest version of the front end, we pulled some of the functionality into the frontend package. There is a chance it will be removed later. We should put a comment in teh README on that package.

Very sorry for the confusion!!
