to_tensorflow_function() dependency

[unsolicitedcrap]

Using the python api, the YDF method to_tensorflow_function() defined in .../python3.12/dist-packages/ydf/model/generic_model.py:1714 calls _get_export_tf() which depends on tensorflow_decision_forests. While YDF supports tensorflow 2.18.0 with python 3.12, tensorflow_decision_forests has no python 3.12 build.

Thank you for notifying us. At this time, a fix would require a release of TF-DF with Python 3.12, since the TF dependency is needed to create a TF model.

As a maintainer of ydf and tfdf, do you have a rough timeframe when this might be addressed? I'm running into issues with the build process when I attempt it myself and I'm not well versed in bazel.

I've learned never to give timeframes BUT I plan on doing it with the next release of Tensorflow
