maq git repo dependency blocks pypi publish about causalml HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @jeongyoonlee, sorry, I thought we touched potential dep issues here

Unfortunately, I don't currently have the bandwidth to put together a pypi source release, as making a sdist with C++ that installs/compiles w/o issues on all the possible system configurations out there can be challenging. It could risk making further complications for a causalML install.

git + pip was nice since that takes care of everything. Since that turns out not be viable option, what about the following:

• Remove maq from the pyproject.toml deps
• Remove maq from metrics/init and test_metrics

Then:

• keep the maq example in the online /docs, but highlight that this example requires the optional package maq to be installed via pip install "git+https://github.com/grf-labs/maq.git#egg=maq&subdirectory=python-package" (+ make the appropriate edits to that notebook).
• add a pip+git install of maq in the online docs builds https://github.com/uber/causalml/tree/master/.github/workflows in case your causalML doc system actually runs the code in the jupyter notebooks and not just renders them?

@erikcs, do you have a plan to publish maq to PyPI?

Just refreshed to see the updates from @erikcs addressing this issue 2 days ago. Feel free to ignore my recent pushes doing the same!
