Worked around it - FYI

Saw that this is fixed. But mentioning it anyways: you need the auquan toolbox (pip install -U auquan_toolbox) in the same path where you are running your notebook from.

@caseyyangsissi it seems that the toolbox might be installed in a different path compared to where you are running the notebook from. This sometimes happens if you have multiple versions of python installed. The path that the notebook is importing packages from is different from the path where the commandline is installing packages.
