Cannot import h3 from h3

[ioalexei]

I've started getting an error importing h3pandas:

import h3pandas 
>>  File "/path/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/h3pandas/h3pandas.py", line 11, in <module>

>>from h3 import h3
>>ImportError: cannot import name 'h3' from 'h3' (/path/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/h3/__init__.py)

Edit:
Python version 3.12.3
h3 4.1.2
h3pandas 0.2.6

I get the same error

This is because we've updated the API in h3-py in v4. In general, when you're upgrading from v3 to v4, any occurrences of from h3 import h3 can be replaced with import h3.

Just note that most of the function names have changed to align with the renaming that happened in the core library. See the new API here: https://uber.github.io/h3-py/api_quick.html

In the short term, you can pin h3 < 4 to avoid this error.

thanks @ajfriend .

adding a pinned dependency of h3 <4 in addition to the entry for h3pandas in my pyproject.toml fixed this for me.
