Unable to import CascadeForestClassifier

[tomthecat1]

Despite following the instructions provided in the README document and using pip to install 'deep-forest,' I encountered a 'ModuleNotFoundError' when trying to import the package in my code.

To troubleshoot, I attempted to clone the GitHub repository directly and forced the environment to recognize the cloned path. Unfortunately, this resulted in another error: 'ImportError: cannot import name '_cutils' from partially initialized module 'deepforest' (most likely due to a circular import) (/content/Deep-Forest/deepforest/init.py).'

This is the full error message:

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 from deepforest.cascade import CascadeForestClassifier

ImportError: cannot import name '_cutils' from partially initialized module 'deepforest' (most likely due to a circular import) (/content/Deep-Forest/deepforest/init.py)

NOTE: If your import is failing due to a missing package, you can
manually install dependencies using either !pip or !apt.

Can somebody actually post the solution here instead of sending private email solutions? This is important for result replication.

While installing deep-forest using pip intall . the error says "Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully."
Would like a solution for this. Currently running python 3.12 on windows and have installed the repository manually.
This is the complete error message:
