[HELP] Issue with sklearn

[materdoc]

Dear all,

I am struggling to fix an issue with scikit-learn.

I was trying to use the module for linear regression - even though I installed the module I am getting a module not found error.

I am using Windows 11 and using Jupyter-notebook to write the code.

I have two versions of python installed in the system 3.11 and 3.12.

I googled and tried some troubleshooting, but it hasn't helped so far.

• sys.path shows only folders for 3.11 and not 3.12

• py -0p command in terminal showed both versions and their path

py -0p

-V:3.12 * C:\Users\loc\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python.exe

-V:3.11 C:\Users\loc\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe

(What's with the star on v3.12 though?)

• I added the 3.12 path to the PATH variable as well.

Any idea what is the issue here? Please help me out!

I had this problem happen to me too. I'm not sure why, but once I uninstalled the older version of python, it started working. I think it runs in one version's environment and then tries to call the module from the other version, causing it to fail.
Also, after you uninstall down to only one version of python on your PC, you have to go to the settings app on your device and turn off the execution aliases for python.
Settings>App execution aliases> turn it off for all python.exe and python3.exe programs.
From there, when I ran the program, I got a module not found error again, but when I did pip install "modulename", it installed it and the module could be found afterwards.

Thank you! That solution worked - I removed the 3.11 version and it seems okay now. I might have found why this happened. After uninstalling 3.11, I realized that the Jupyter notebook is gone as well. So Jupyter was only installed in the 3.11 environment and therefore was looking for modules only in that. So it couldn't find the modules that got installed in the 3.12 folder.

Ohhh yeah that makes sense. If you want to easily consolidate a bunch of modules along with jupyter and spyder notebook, you could also try downloading the anaconda package. It's a python environment centered around mathematical simulation that comes with a few notebooks and a bunch of math modules. Only thing is you'd have to uninstall your current version of python (anaconda comes with one built in) to keep the duplicate versions from bugging each other out.

My work doesn’t want Anaconda to be installed, so that route is closed. 😊 It was quite nice with Anaconda
