Unable to run Fabric-DataAgent-OpenAI-Client-sample notebook

Hi blaidddrwg ,

I totally get where you’re coming from, this tripped me up as well when I first tried out the sample. So, the “No module named ‘synapse’” error means that the synapse.ml.fabric package isn’t available in your environment, and you’re right, it doesn’t actually show up in the SynapseML repo/package list either.

From what I’ve seen, that specific module (synapse.ml.fabric) isn’t released publicly yet, and it’s not available via pip or conda at the moment. The Fabric Data Agent SDK itself is available, but some of the internal dependencies (like synapse.ml.fabric) seem to be only present in certain Microsoft-hosted environments or maybe internal builds.

A couple of things you could try:

• Double check if there’s a requirements.txt or env.yml in the sample repo, sometimes they sneak in private feed configs or alternative install instructions there.
• If there’s nothing there, you might want to reach out to the repo owners or check if there’s a preview program for the SDK or those specific libraries. Sometimes these packages are rolled out in waves.
• As a last resort, you could try running the notebook directly inside a Microsoft Fabric workspace (if you have access) since those environments might have the needed package pre-installed.

Hope that helps a little, even if it’s not the perfect answer. I wish this package was just pip installable, would make life way easier 🙂
