即使似乎已安装，也无法导入 scikits-learn

Question

Per the scikit-learn user guide, I installed scikit-learn using pip install -U scikit-learn .

So using pip search scikit-learn , I get this search result:

scikit-learn - A set of python modules for machine learning and data mining
INSTALLED: 0.12.1 (latest)

But when I go into Python and try to import sklearn , I get an ImportError: No module named sklearn . This really should have just worked.

I am using Enthought's free distribution of Python (2.7.3) on a Mac OS 10.6.8 with NumPy 1.6.1 and SciPy 0.10.1. Yes, I'm aware that EPD Free comes with scikit-learn but pip should have upgraded my version so that I can actually use scikit-learn.

Answer 1

Got same problem, @Alan gave correct solution but hard way. Here are easy steps to resolve issue, as i am on mac osx, giving steps for same.

Ameys-Mac-mini:~ amey$ python --version
Python 2.7.2
Ameys-Mac-mini:~ amey$ cd /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/
Ameys-Mac-mini:site-packages amey$ brew install gcc
Ameys-Mac-mini:site-packages amey$ sudo pip install -t . numpy scipy scikit-learn 

Answer 2

Thanks folks (see comment thread under the question)! It turns out that I have two versions of Python under my Mac's /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework directory tree: 2.7 (came with OSX) and 7.3 (installed by EPD Free).

It turns out pip put scikit-learn under 2.7 when I really wanted it under 7.3.

Changing directories to site-packages under the desired version of Python, and invoking pip install -t . {package-name} pip install -t . {package-name} suffices to install package-name under the desired version of Python.

POSTLUDE (Feb 2021): Looking back on this question from almost 9 years ago, I think I was running into a version of this XKCD comic.

Nowadays, for dependency management of Python data engineering libraries like scikit, I'm happy with just using conda and pyenv .

Answer 3

In my case, my python extension has installed all in

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ 

After I use the command given by the official site

pip install -U numpy scipy scikit-learn

the scikit-learn package was actually installed in my

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

So I copied all the packages in second to the first directory, then I can import the sklearn package.

Answer 4

For future reference:

easy_install -U statsmodels

Answer 5

I had the same issue and I could figure out that python versions were different. I followed this answer .

On Zeppelin page, go to the settings, Intepreter settings and change your python to python3.
