Juypter notebook pandas_profiling: cannot import name 'to_html' from 'pandas_profiling.report'

Question

I am trying to import pandas profiling.

import pandas as pd
!pip install pandas_profiling
import pandas_profiling as pp

However, there is a error message saying that cannot import name to_html from pandas_profiling.report

Answer 1

I got the same error using pip, but it worked like a charm after using the conda install

conda install -c conda-forge pandas-profiling

If you're not using Conda environment, i'd suggest install directly from the github using:

pip install https://github.com/pandas-profiling/pandas-profiling/archive/master.zip

Answer 2

the above solution was not working in my case

use this on your anaconda prompt

conda env create -n pandas-profiling
conda activate pandas-profiling
conda install -c conda-forge pandas-profiling

then you can use profile report on your editor

from pandas_profiling import ProfileReport

it will work for sure
