I'm using AWS for work with Anaconda in it. I don't have permission to install any python library (I mean, I requested it and it's taking ages) so I'm trying to see if there's a way around it.
I'm trying to install xgboost, what I did was to download all .py files in the github repo (only the .py files) for the library, put them in a folder that looks like this:
xgboost package
|
+ - setup.py
- xgboost
|
+ - __init__.py
- callback.py
- core.py
.
.
.
I already did this based on this answer
import importlib.util
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location("xgboost", "/path/to/setup/file.py")
foo = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(foo)
foo.MyClass()
wouldn't this be enough to use it?
When I run test = xgboost.XGBRegressor() or test = foo.XGBRegressor() it gives me this error
AttributeError: 'xgboost' has no attribute 'XGBRegressor'.
If I try from xgboost import XGBRegressor it gives me

I have no clue what's going on at this point. Any help is welcome
