[FIXED] Importing Polars in a notebook causes kernel to crash

Issue

Importing Polars polars==0.19.7 makes my kernel crash logs :

import polars

The Kernel crashed while executing code in the the current cell or a previous cell. Please review the code in the cell(s) to identify a possible cause of the failure. Click here for more info. View Jupyter log for further details.

Would any one know what is causing this ?

Solution

have you tried https://github.com/pola-rs/polars/issues/12292

Do you want Polars to run on an old CPU (e.g. dating from before 2011), or on an x86-64 build of Python on Apple Silicon under Rosetta? Install pip install polars-lts-cpu. This version of Polars is compiled without AVX target features.

"Celeron" and "Pentium" processors won't have AVX (even after 2011)

lscpu will tell you your processor family on ubuntu
