ImportError: cannot import name choice when importing sklearn.mixture

Question

I am using scikit learn 0.15.0. When I try to import sklearn.mixture I get ImportError: cannot import name choice

Any ideas?

As noted, it might have to do with old files (that are implemented in python as opposed to libraries?) in a new package you probably updated using pip install -U packagename (in my case pip install -U scikit-learn) It might be worth first trying to uninstall the package and install it again before manually deleting stuff... (worked in my case) uninstall (in my case run it on Anaconda Command prompt):

   pip uninstall scikit-learn

then:

   pip install -U numpy scipy scikit-learn

(added dependencies just in case) then just to be sure

   pip install scikit-learn

should say it's installed
