This is what strtobool was doing so left it the exact same.

It looks like there are tests still running on python 3.7. I'm not sure how sagemaker is able to be installed/functions in a 3.7 miniconda environment but it's not supported. Seems like the job runner needs an update since 3.7 has been end of life since June 2023.

The errors come from this env:

/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sagemaker_training/process.py

[jmahlik]

Just let me know if I need to rebase once the python 3.7 issue is taken care of.

@jmahlik Kindly take a look at the failing integ-tests.

@jmahlik Kindly take a look at the failing integ-tests.

They are failing from a python 3.7 environment slipping into the test suite. shutil.copytree added the dirs_exist_ok=True parameter added in python 3.8. So it fails on 3.7.

All of them have a similar traceback. I believe this can be traced to the pytorch framework version being out of date, so the image has python 3.7 installed. It doesn't appear pytorch 1.5 is supported on the images page.

@knikure Would it be ok to bump the tests to use 2.1.2 so they are run on a supported python version? I'm not so familiar with the support policy for framework images and couldn't find firm docs on what exactly is supported by the sdk for training. One might imagine with an unsupported python, the image becomes obsolete.

Traceback:

ClientError: AlgorithmError: framework error:
