AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute '__version__'

Question

I updated my computer today, and am getting the following error message when I attempt to import pandas:

import pandas as pd        
AttributeError: module \         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried this:

pip uninstall -y numpy
pip uninstall -y setuptools
pip install setuptools
pip install numpy

Answer 2

I had this error today while I was running a "brew upgrade" on MacOS and upgrade failed on matplotlib.

<TLDR/>

I run pip (v 2.x) and pip3 installed. It turned out I had not installed numpy with pip3. I ran

pip3 install numpy

brew upgrade then ran successfully.

Answer 3

You may have named your program/script 'numpy'. I also had that then i renamed my program and then it works. It happens because when you name your program similar to a module the import attribute clashes between programs and modules

Answer 4

Try this

In Jupyter notebook first uninstall the existing numpy by using !pip uninstall numpy.

Then install it !pip install numpy. Now restart the kernel(Python Notebook). It will work.

Answer 5

Just had this issue after conda chose to update numpy from 1.13.3 to 1.14.3. Reverting numpy via procedure in http://blog.rtwilson.com/conda-revisions-letting-you-rollback-to-a-previous-version-of-your-environment/ sufficed to recover functionality, followed by pinning the version in the environment.
