Updated to new Anaconda 2018, opened a jupyter notebook that worked prior to the update. Having problems with loading seaborn into the script. Tried following several threads on this but nothing worked question.

I've tried:

-Setting Enviromental Variables

-Reinstalling Anaconda2018

-Uninstalled and reinstalled seaborn using conda

-Reinstalled SciPy

Running out of options as I want to use Seaborn 0.9.0 and python-3.7 but I cannot seem to get 3.7 to play with 0.9.0. Help? 

import seaborn as sns

Any Tips on how to make my question better would also be welcomed as I want to get better at asking these questions.

I have met the same problem and be puzzled by it either this morning........

By carefully checking the Traceback ----> 4 from scipy.sparse.linalg import LinearOperator

It's the issue of scipy, not seaborn.

I try to uninstall conda versions and install pip versions scipy and numpy, it works now. please have a try, hopefully it could help u too.

$> conda remove --force numpy, scipy
$> pip install numpy
$> pip install scipy

    Could you please let us know why pip works and conda does not. – Tejas Shetty Nov 06 '21 at 05:31
  • In my case, I also needed to uninstall numpy and scipy via pip uninstall ... and then do these steps above. Then it worked. – Banik Feb 21 '23 at 08:40

    @TejasShetty - I might be able to help a bit with that one ... 2 years later... Conda seems to work like a stochastic algorithm when you try and install multiple libraries in one go (i.e. you might not get the exact version of everything every time) whereas pip is much more straightforward and handles dependencies less stochastically. Here is also another discussions https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20994716/what-is-the-difference-between-pip-and-conda – AlexAMC Apr 06 '23 at 13:50

i have removed completely seaborn, numpy and scipy then i reinstalled them and it works for me.

In my anaconda Powershell i excuted this command:

conda remove --force seaborn numpy scipy

then, in jupyter notebook and execut this in one cell.

pip install seaborn numpy scipy
