As a workaournd we can do the following:

from evadb.configuration.constants import EvaDB_INSTALLATION_DIR
cursor.query("DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS SiftFeatureExtractor;").df()
cursor.query(f"""
    CREATE FUNCTION SiftFeatureExtractor
    IMPL '{EvaDB_INSTALLATION_DIR}/functions/sift_feature_extractor.py'
""").df()

We shall include EvaDB_INSTALLATION_DIR as searching path for functions in #1105
