fastai import in databricks broken

Has anyone else had a problem today (2026-09-04) with imports from fastai?

The error message points to a problem with the underlying fastcore package:

AttributeError: 'Function' object attribute '__doc__' is read-only

I'm getting the same error using fastai versions 2.8.5 and 2.8.8.

The only change I can see is in the compute event logs, my 'Compute is using release 18.3.6' compared to 18.3.5 yesterday.
