pyLDAvis.gensim needs to be imported explicitly

[martin-martin]

I keep getting AttributeError when attempting to run:

import pyLDAvis

# ... creating LDA model, corpus, and dictionary in here
pyLDAvis.gensim.prepare(ldamodel, corpus, dictionary)

Here's the traceback:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-21-950ae09ed90b> in <module>()
----> 1 pyLDAvis.gensim.prepare(ldamodel, corpus, dictionary)

AttributeError: module 'pyLDAvis' has no attribute 'gensim'

---

However, the code runs fine when importing gensim explicitly:

from pyLDAvis import gensim

# ... same as above
gensim.prepare(ldamodel, corpus, dictionary)

Unsure why that would be the case? Is it possible that gensim would need to be added to __init__.py?

How about this: import pyLDAvis.gensim This doesn't give me Attribute Error

import pyLDAvis.gensim gives me import error. How can i solve it?

Looks like this is latest issue with version 3.3.0

Switch to version 3.2.2 and it will work like charm.

vs3.3.0 had to rename the file name, so now use import pyLDAvis.gensim_models

Note: the colab examples have import pyLDAvis.gensim AS gensimvis, and I could rename the file to gensimvis.py then it would simply be import pyLDAvis.gensimvis

Thanks for the quick action.

I had the same issue with pyLDAvis==3.2.2 and the above solution (import pyLDAvis.gensim_models) surprisingly worked, am I missing something?

[VictorSuarezL]

Still have the same problem. Any tips?

hello everyone.
I'm using python 3.9.12 and have the same Error with : import pyLDAvis.gensim
i also try : from pyLDAvis import gensim but don't work

I solve it by importing the package gensim_models instead of gensim : import pyLDAvis.gensim_models

I still don't understand why but it work.

Yes, this worked for me as well. Unfortunately, I do not know the reason but I found the answer also without further explanation on stack: https://stackoverflow.com/a/71920375
