i’m not sure what i’m meant to do with this… :-/

I have no idea, but the python path looks awfully suspicious for something running inside GitHub Actions

part of the CI builds the library and setup packages etc so I believe that’s expected (although this is my first time playing with it).

It turns out this is nothing to do with nbdev.

I’d blindly added everything I import to my requirements in settings.ini including some standard lib stuff. There is however, a pypi package called enum (from before python had enum support) which blows up with this error when you try and pip install it.
