Note whoever is the owner of "ghcr.io/${{ github.repository_owner }}/dowhy-docs-generation:latest" needs to update the container to use Python3.8+

Preferably Python3.11, since that will future proof the CI and it's just doc building.

Thanks. @petergtz I remember you had set this up? can you update the python version as Adam suggests?

@adam2392 @amit-sharma Hey guys, the image referred to by Adam is built using the build-docker-image-docs.yml workflow. The Dockerfile it refers to is docs/Dockerfile.

This Dockerfile builds on top of another Docker image (ghcr.io/py-why/dowhy-example-notebooks-deps) where the actual installation of packages happens. You can find its Dockerfile in py-why/dowhy-example-notebooks-deps-dockerfile.

If you want to bump the Python version, it should probably happen there. I wouldn't know from the top of my mind how to do it though, as we're never explicitly specifying the Python version. Maybe using a newer Ubuntu base image could do, but unsure. Also have a look at the README, it says that the R dependencies are really difficult to control. Maybe you can delete all these dependencies now, because there is no R code anymore. Otherwise, you'll probably have to go through some trial and error.
