I am getting the following error while trying to import from sklearn:
>>> from sklearn import svm
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#17>", line 1, in <module>
from sklearn import svm
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\sklearn\__init__.py", line 16, in <module>
from . import check_build
ImportError: cannot import name check_build
I am using python 2.7, scipy-0.12.0b1 superpack, numpy-1.6.0 superpack, scikit-learn-0.11 I have a windows 7 machine
I have checked several answers for this issue but none of them gives a way out of this error.
This question is related to
python
numpy
scipy
scikit-learn
i had the same problem reinstalling anaconda solved the issue for me
no need to uninstall & then re-install sklearn
try this:
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
In windows:
I tried to delete sklearn from the shell: pip uninstall sklearn, and re install it but doesn't work ..
the solution:
1- open the cmd shell.
2- cd c:\pythonVERSION\scripts
3- pip uninstall sklearn
4- open in the explorer: C:\pythonVERSION\Lib\site-packages
5- look for the folders that contains sklearn and delete them ..
6- back to cmd: pip install sklearn
None of the other answers worked for me. After some tinkering I unsinstalled sklearn:
pip uninstall sklearn
Then I removed sklearn folder from here: (adjust the path to your system and python version)
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python36\site-packages
And the installed it from wheel from this site: link
The error was there probably because of a version conflict with sklearn installed somewhere else.
I had the same issue on Windows. Solved it by installing Numpy+MKL from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy (there it's recommended to install numpy+mkl before other packages that depend on it) as suggested by this answer.
>>> from sklearn import preprocessing, metrics, cross_validation
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
from sklearn import preprocessing, metrics, cross_validation
File "D:\Python27\lib\site-packages\sklearn\__init__.py", line 31, in <module>
from . import __check_build
ImportError: cannot import name __check_build
>>> ================================ RESTART ================================
>>> from sklearn import preprocessing, metrics, cross_validation
>>>
So, simply try to restart the shell!
For me, I was upgrading the existing code into new setup by installing Anaconda from fresh with latest python version(3.7) For this,
from sklearn import cross_validation,
from sklearn.grid_search import GridSearchCV
to
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV,cross_validate
After installing numpy
, scipy
,sklearn
still has error
Solution:
Setting Up System Path
Variable for Python & the PYTHONPATH
Environment Variable
System Variables: add C:\Python34
into path
User Variables: add new: (name)PYTHONPATH
(value)C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages;
Usually when I get these kinds of errors, opening the __init__.py
file and poking around helps. Go to the directory C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\sklearn
and ensure that there's a sub-directory called __check_build
as a first step. On my machine (with a working sklearn installation, Mac OSX, Python 2.7.3) I have __init__.py
, setup.py
, their associated .pyc
files, and a binary _check_build.so
.
Poking around the __init__.py
in that directory, the next step I'd take is to go to sklearn/__init__.py
and comment out the import statement---the check_build stuff just checks that things were compiled correctly, it doesn't appear to do anything but call a precompiled binary. This is, of course, at your own risk, and (to be sure) a work around. If your build failed you'll likely soon run into other, bigger problems.
I had problems importing SKLEARN after installing a new 64bit version of Python 3.4 from python.org.
Turns out that it was the SCIPY module that was broken, and alos failed when I tried to "import scipy".
Solution was to uninstall scipy and reinstall it with pip3:
C:\> pip uninstall scipy
[lots of reporting messages deleted]
Proceed (y/n)? y

My solution for Python 3.6.5 64-bit Windows 10:
pip uninstall sklearn
pip uninstall scikit-learn
pip install sklearn
No need to restart command-line but you can do this if you want. It took me one day to fix this bug. Hope this help.
If you use Anaconda 2.7 64 bit, try
conda upgrade scikit-learn
and restart the python shell, that works for me.
Second edit when I faced the same problem and solved it:
conda upgrade scikit-learn
also works for me
