ImportError: cannot import name 'snapshot_download'

[markyoder]

I am trying to write a Spack package to install evo2. The idea is to bundle all the components -- Python, ipython, dependencies, etc. so that -- in my current use case, the whole enchilada is bundled together.

It mostly works. I can build (most of?) the dependencies and py-evo2. When I try to run it, however, import evo2 gives the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'snapshot_download' from 'huggingface_hub' (/home/groups/sh_support/share/spack_SRC/spack/opt/spack/linux-x86_64/py-huggingface-hub-0.26.2-qchl3gamy64jccpsdrdkq3e7wo2etcgp/lib/python3.12/site-packages/huggingface_hub/__init__.py)

I have found a few articles that support the fairly obvious interpretation, that this is an issue with the version of huggingface_hub -- that basically the syntax has changed. Can we expect updates in evo2 to fix this, or is there a recommended workaround?

See, for example:
huggingface/huggingface_hub#1199

Thanks, in advance, for your help!
