ImportError: cannot import name 'joblib' from 'sklearn.externals'

Question

I am trying to load my saved model from s3 using joblib

import pandas as pd  import numpy as np import json import subprocess import sqlalchemy from sklearn.externals import joblib  ENV = 'dev' model_d2v = load_d2v('model_d2v_version_002', ENV)  def load_d2v(fname, env):     model_name = fname     if env == 'dev':         try:              model=joblib.load(model_name)         except:             s3_base_path='s3://sd-flikku/datalake/doc2vec_model'             path = s3_base_path+'/'+model_name             command = "aws s3 cp {} {}".format(path,model_name).split()             print('loading...'+model_name)             subprocess.call(command)             model=joblib.load(model_name)     else:         s3_base_path='s3://sd-flikku/datalake/doc2vec_model'         path = s3_base_path+'/'+model_name         command = "aws s3 cp {} {}".format(path,model_name).split()         print('loading...'+model_name)         subprocess.call(command)         model=joblib.load(model_name)     return model 

But i was facing this error:

    from sklearn.externals import joblib ImportError: cannot import name 'joblib' from 'sklearn.externals' (C:\Users\prane\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\sklearn\externals\__init__.py) 

Then i tried installing joblib directly by doing

import joblib 

but it gave me this error

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>   File "<stdin>", line 8, in load_d2v_from_s3   File "/home/ec2-user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/joblib/numpy_pickle.py", line 585, in load     obj = _unpickle(fobj, filename, mmap_mode)   File "/home/ec2-user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/joblib/numpy_pickle.py", line 504, in _unpickle     obj = unpickler.load()   File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/pickle.py", line 1088, in load     dispatch[key[0]](self)   File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/pickle.py", line 1376, in load_global     klass = self.find_class(module, name)   File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/pickle.py", line 1426, in find_class     __import__(module, level=0) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.externals.joblib' 

Can you tell me how to solve this? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You should directly use

import joblib 

instead of

from sklearn.externals import joblib
