There was no problem importing face_recognition yesterday but all of sudden it does not work. I have no idea how to fix this problem... Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

I restarted my mac and tried again now it works fine. I would like to figure out why...

>>> import dlib
>>> import face_recognition

Please import sys by import sys .

Then replace

np.set_printoptions(threshold=np.nan)

with

np.set_printoptions(threshold=sys.maxsize)
