Python import error for sklearn.model_selection 0.17.1

ImportError: No module named 'sklearn.model_selection'

Before doing the embarrassing things I did below, read this:
Setting Jupyter kernel to match Python conda environment


Change to conda environment you need to update (tensorflow_gpu in may case).

List packages that have "scikit" in them.

(tensorflow_gpu) $ conda list | grep scikit


Nothing, nada.


$ conda install scikit-learn

Package plan for installation in environment /Users/ukilucas/anaconda3/envs/tensorflow_gpu:
The following NEW packages will be INSTALLED:
    mkl:          2017.0.1-0            numpy:        1.11.3-py35_0         scikit-learn: 0.18.1-np111py35_1    scipy:        0.18.1-np111py35_1




(tensorflow_gpu)  $ conda list | grep scikit

scikit-learn              0.18.1              np111py35_1 



import sklearn
print (sklearn.__version__)
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
0.18.1

You do not have to re-start Jupyter Notebook
that is all!

And here is my very long and embarrassing story:


Check the version of the package

import sklearn
print (sklearn.__version__)
0.17.1

Install the latest package

$ conda install scikit-learn

installs:
scikit-learn-0.18.1

However, already running jupyter notebook does not see the change.

Making sure I am in the right  (tensorflow) environment:

$ source activate tensorflow
$ conda install scikit-learn


installs:

    mkl:          2017.0.1-0        
    numpy:        1.11.3-py35_0     
    scikit-learn: 0.18.1-np111py35_1
    scipy:        0.18.1-np111py35_1



Still, Jupyter Notebook does not see scikit-learn 0.18.1

Restarting jupyter notebook from the same tensorflow environment


(tensorflow) uki@Uki ~ $ jupyter notebook ~/dev/

Still, Jupyter Notebook does NOT see scikit-learn 0.18.1

Jupyter Kernels

Ok, so there is a clear distinction of the conda env (in my case tensorflow) from which I am starting Jupyter Notebook and what the kernels see.

I tried to switch kernels Python [conda root] and Python [default], NO difference: sklearn.__version__ = 0.17.1

Removing Anaconda3 and Jupyter - fresh installs

$ rm -r ~/Library/Jupyter
$ rm -r ~/.ipython
$ rm -r ~/.jupyter
$ rm -r ~/anaconda3/


Installation (Mac OSX)


Downloads $ wget https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-4.3.0-MacOSX-x86_64.sh

Note the new Python is 3.6, but for TensorFlow I will need 3.5

bash Anaconda3-4.3.0-MacOSX-x86_64.sh


Anaconda3 will now be installed into this location:

/Users/ukilucas/anaconda3

Refresh Bash Terminal

$ source ~/.bash_profile
conda info --envs

root                  *  /Users/ukilucas/anaconda3
conda list
...
python                    3.6.0 
...


Create a new enviroment for Python 3.5

TensorFlow Installation instructions
# Python 3.5
$ conda create
-n tensorflow python=3.5


At this time GPU Mac version is available only via pip


# Mac OS X, GPU enabled, Python 3.4 or 3.5:
(tensorflow)$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.1-py3-none-any.whl

$ sudo  pip3 install --ignore-installed --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

Summary

Full delete of Anaconda3 and Jupyter and fresh re-installation fixed the problem.

“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
