Cannot import Scikit-Learn

I tried to install scikit-learn on my Linux Mint 12 but failed. I downloaded the package from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/scikit-learn/ and installed with

sudo python2.7 setup.py install

I then changed the directory to home and started python2.7 shell. On importing sklearn I got:

>>> import sklearn
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/spatial/__init__.py:7: RuntimeWarning:

    from ckdtree import *

    from qhull import *
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/spatial/__init__.py:8: RuntimeWarning:  
numpy.ufunc size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility
    from qhull import *

I think the problem is with scipy's spatial. This is because when I do

>>> from scipy import spatial

I get the same error that I get for Scikit-learn.

Please help. Thank You.

EDIT: New error.

回答1:

I'm not really sure, but according to this that error happens when a package that depends on numpy is compiled targeting a specific version (or a specific platform), and that package is then installed in a different environment. How did you install those two packages? (numpy and scipy)

I'd suggest uninstalling both and then reinstalling SciPy, either using pip or from source.

回答2:

I ran into this today on OS X El Capitan. Unfortunately, reinstalling/installing didn't work, since the problem ended up being that numpy installation native to OS X was preferred over the one being installed by pip.

I was able to solve this by following the guidance in: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/223163

In particular, I used the approach of fixing the python path to prefer pip libraries over OS X native libraries:

Create a file called fix_mac_path.pth in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages that has the following:

import sys; std_paths=[p for p in sys.path if p.startswith('/System/')]; sys.path=[p for p in sys.path if not p.startswith('/System/')]+std_paths

i was having the exact same problem. I managed to make it work by installing the windows binary for 64 bit windows from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scikit-learn . Hope this works for you
