Simple composition-based featurization fails due to an upgrade in pymatgen

[JaGeo]

from matminer.datasets import load_dataset
from matminer.featurizers.composition import ElementProperty
from matminer.featurizers.conversions import StrToComposition

bandgaps = load_dataset('matbench_expt_gap')
bandgaps = bandgaps[bandgaps['gap expt'] > 0].reset_index(drop=True)
bandgaps.head()

str_to_comp = StrToComposition(target_col_id='composition_pmg')
bandgaps_comp = str_to_comp.featurize_dataframe(bandgaps, col_id='composition')

featurizer = ElementProperty.from_preset('magpie')
bandgaps_data_featurized = featurizer.featurize_dataframe(bandgaps_comp, col_id='composition_pmg', ignore_errors=True,
                                                          return_errors=True)
y = bandgaps_data_featurized['gap expt']
bandgaps_data_featurized.head()

fails with:

ValueError: Unexpected atomic number Z=119

It works, however, fine with pymatgen version "2023.12.18". The periodic table data has been updated. Probably a side effect of: materialsproject/pymatgen#3542

I would push a fix but "pip install -e ." from the cloned matminer repo fails

Same issue as #919 I think, see the discussion over there (basically no-one is available to maintain matminer anymore and its been left in a state where dep upgrades are tricky to handle).

#919 (comment)
