Import error with rdkit

Question

[DdogBoss]

Hi all,

I am trying to use deepchem to import MolculeNet datasets.

My code so far is:

import deepchem as dc

tasks, datasets, transformers = dc.molnet.load_qm7(featurizer='GraphConv', splitter='random')

and I run into the import error:

DLL load failed while importing rdBase: The specified module could not be found.

To resolve the error, I have tried: adding packages to environment variable, reinstalling packages, reinstalling anaconda3, creating a virtual environment with base 3.8, and using os package to add DLLs directly. Nothing has worked, and I am still getting the same error. Any ideas?

I was using pip to install packages, but then I tried switching to conda forge and it still didn't work.
