Hi Pat,

Solution, either change your calc_bcut function to:
def calc_bcut(smi):
    from rdkit.Chem.rdMolDescriptors import BCUT2D
    mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles(smi)
    return BCUT2D(mol)

or change the import on line 8 at the top to:
from rdkit.Chem import rdMolDescriptors

and do:
def calc_bcut(smi):
    mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles(smi)
    return rdMolDescriptors.BCUT2D(mol)

The second approach is probably more efficient.

I'm not 100% sure what's happening, but it looks like dask is trying to
somehow package up whatever is being used in calc_bcut() and is having a
problem when it sees the BCUT2D object, which is a Boost.Python.function
instead of a normal Python function:

In [3]: type(MolWt)
Out[3]: function

In [4]: type(BCUT2D)
Out[4]: Boost.Python.function

By either explicitly doing the import in calc_bcut() or referencing the
function through the module, dask seems to be able to figure out how to do
the right thing.

-greg
p.s. in case you see different behavior:
In [2]: dask.__version__
Out[2]: '2020.12.0'
