Hi, 2.8.1 is breaking the

from prefect.orion

import path and is therefore, unfortunately, not backwards compatible 😢

Is an import failing for you at runtime? When I use imports from

prefect.orion

on 2.8.1, they work but display a deprecation warning:

test.py:9: DeprecationWarning: The 'prefect.orion' module has been deprecated. It will not be available after Aug 2023. Use 'prefect.server' instead.
  from prefect.orion.services.loop_service import LoopService

Other things in

prefect.orion

should do the same thing, but if you encounter anything that's not working, please let us know so we can investigate.

hey Ryan, thanks for the input. It works indeed at runtime 🤯 but our CI that includes pylint checks and the IDE cannot resolve the deprecated imports, i guess because it is not actually evaluating the

__init__.py

. So this means that we either need to disable these checks in our CI or refactor immediately in order to unblock our pipelines? 🤔

@Justin Trautmann Is there a reproduction you could share? I’m happy to try to fix this, it’s just pretty tricky as-is to make all the import machinery work correctly for old modules.

sure. thank you for looking into it. i agree that the python import machinery can be tricky sometimes and i'm quite impressed by what you are doing in importtools.

"""Docstring."""

from prefect import flow
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowFilter


@flow()
def main() -> None:
    """Docstring."""
    FlowFilter()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

pylint on this code throws no errors with Prefect 2.8.0 but reports

orion_import_flow.py:4:0: E0401: Unable to import 'prefect.orion.schemas.filters' (import-error)
orion_import_flow.py:4:0: E0611: No name 'orion' in module 'prefect' (no-name-in-module)

with Prefect 2.8.1 i'm using pylint 2.14.2

Great thanks let me see what I can do
