cannot import name balanced_accuracy_score

Question

I am using anaconda and running a script on spyder. When I call

import from sklearn.metrics balanced_accuracy_score

I get the error: "cannot import name balanced_accuracy_score "

Why is this particular metric not being imported?

import from is not valid syntax for Python, the pattern is

import <package> - for entire package

or

from <package> import <module> - only specific module in package

you want the latter, try:

from sklearn.metrics import balanced_accuracy_score

what is the complete `import` statement giving you that error? and what package/module(s) are you trying to import? – chickity china chinese chicken Nov 15 '18 at 18:43
`import from sklearn.metrics balanced_accuracy_score`. I'm trying to import [sklearn's balanced_accuracy_score](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.balanced_accuracy_score.html#sklearn.metrics.balanced_accuracy_score) – Alaa M. Nov 15 '18 at 18:52
You're import syntax is incorrect (same as in the OP question), we can't use `import from ...`, instead use `from` `import` ..., try `from sklearn.metrics import balanced_accuracy_score` – chickity china chinese chicken Nov 15 '18 at 19:06
Sorry, copy paste mistake. My import statement is actually `from sklearn.metrics import balanced_accuracy_score`. Problem as I described. Anyway, maybe it's added onyl in 0.20 – Alaa M. Nov 15 '18 at 19:08
