ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spice' despite installing spiceai

[Daijunfan]

Hi, I'm trying to run the Mentat project but encountering an issue with the spice module.

Current Behavior

When trying to run python -m mentat, I get the following error:
python
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 189, in run_module_as_main
File "", line 148, in get_module_details
File "", line 112, in get_module_details
File "D:\cursor_test\AI_En\mentat-main\mentat\init.py", line 1, in
from mentat.python_client.client import ( # isort: skip
File "D:\cursor_test\AI_En\mentat-main\mentat\python_client\client.py", line 7, in
from mentat.config import Config
File "D:\cursor_test\AI_En\mentat-main\mentat\config.py", line 11, in
from spice.models import TextModel, models
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spice'

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Run python -m mentat

Environment

• OS: Windows 10
• Python: 3.10+
• Package versions:
  • spiceai~=0.2.0 (installed from requirements.txt)

Questions

1. Is spice supposed to be a separate module from spiceai? The error suggests it's looking for a module named spice, but the requirements only list spiceai.
2. If they are different, where can I find the spice module?
3. If they are the same, is there a naming mismatch in the imports that needs to be fixed?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

spice and spiceai are the same - spiceai is the name when installing from PYPI, spice is the name when using it in python code.

I'm not sure why you are getting this error, but we haven't been updating the mentat / spice projects for several months so there are probably a lot of issues with them. We've been focused on our mentat github bot: www.mentat.ai
