cannot import name 'random' from 'scipy'

[noeldum]

I am using scipy 1.9.1 and I get the traceback below when using the buildNetwork function.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/nono/Desktop/tmp/neural/./main.py", line 3, in <module> from pybrain.tools.shortcuts import buildNetwork File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/PyBrain-0.3.3-py3.10.egg/pybrain/__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from pybrain.structure.__init__ import * File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/PyBrain-0.3.3-py3.10.egg/pybrain/structure/__init__.py", line 2, in <module> from pybrain.structure.modules.__init__ import * File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/PyBrain-0.3.3-py3.10.egg/pybrain/structure/modules/__init__.py", line 3, in <module> from pybrain.structure.modules.gaussianlayer import GaussianLayer File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/PyBrain-0.3.3-py3.10.egg/pybrain/structure/modules/gaussianlayer.py", line 3, in <module> from scipy import random ImportError: cannot import name 'random' from 'scipy' (/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/scipy-1.9.1-py3.10-linux-x86_64.egg/scipy/__init__.py)
Looks like an old reference where things have changed in scipy and not updated in pybrain probably.

Is pybrain still maintained? The last release is from 2015.

This worked for me:

import sys, numpy
sys.modules["scipy.random"] = numpy.random
import pybrain

I encapsulated this code on a file pylearn.py like this:

pylearn.py

import sys, numpy
sys.modules["scipy.random"] = numpy.random
import pybrain
sys.modules[__name__] = pybrain

so i can import from it like this:

myproject.py

from pylearn.tools.shortcuts import buildNetwork
mynetwork = buildNetwork(2, 3, 1)
print(mynetwork)

This fork (MarcusGrum pybrain fork) also solves the bug directly on the source code, so you can close the issue
