Hi just updated my version of python from 3.7 to 3.8 I am using pycharm IDE and sklearn was working perfectly fine in the previous version but now when I try to run code that was

However after updating my version it keeps giving the following error.

    "C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe" C:/Users/SmithyB/Desktop/test/K-Means.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/SmithyB/Desktop/test/K-Means.py", line 6, in <module>
    from sklearn.cluster import KMeans

    from .base import clone

    from .utils import _IS_32BIT

    from scipy.sparse import issparse
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\scipy\__init__.py", line 119, in <module>
    from scipy._lib._ccallback import LowLevelCallable
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\scipy\_lib\_ccallback.py", line 1, in <module>
    from . import _ccallback_c
ImportError: cannot import name '_ccallback_c' from 'scipy._lib' (C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\scipy\_lib\__init__.py)

I have made sure that the interpreter is correct. I have made sure that I have uninstalled older versions of python from my computer but unfortunately still no luck.

I will really appreciate it if someone can point out how to solve this problem.

Thanks

  1. Try removing Scipy folder from C:/Users/SmithyB/AppData/Roaming/Python/Python36/site-packages/scipy

  2. Reinstall using pip install scipy

Thanks for all your input, I couldn't have solved the problem without you guys.

I am posting how I solved the problem with the hope that it will be helpful to someone.

Since the problem was originally with using the SK-Learn library I uninstalled scikit-learn

pip uninstall scikit-learn

and then reinstalled it.

pip install scikit-learn

the error did not go away after that so I followed the suggestion of uninstalling scipy

pip uninstall scipy

and then reinstalling it.

pip install scipy

I ran a code that I had written which uses sklearn previously and it worked.
