Python XGboost import DeprecationWarning

Question

When running the code line:

import xgboost

I get the following warning:

 DeprecationWarning: This module was deprecated in version 0.18 in favor of the model_selection module into which all the refactored classes and functions are moved. Also note that the interface of the new CV iterators are different from that of this module. This module will be removed in 0.20.

"This module will be removed in 0.20.", DeprecationWarning)

I have installed xgboost using:

conda install py-xgboost

I use pycharm. What should I do in order to run xgboost?

EDIT: here is the full errror code:

I think it's just warning. You're ok to use it. Warning is nothing but they gonna remove the module in 0.20 version but for now you can use it. — Sociopath, Feb 17 '18 at 10:05
After the warning I can't do anything, the program just stops — One_Curious_User, Feb 17 '18 at 10:18

I installed it today, so it's updated for sure. I have miniconda, so I need anaconda? — One_Curious_User, Feb 17 '18 at 10:26

conda update should be the intended operation in such situations and to suppress the warnings.. let me know if it worked.
