skopt Import Error

[MechCoder]

I am unable to import skopt from anywhere else except the base directory. For example, if I try importing skopt from the examples/ directory, I just get

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/scikit_optimize-0.1-py3.4.egg/skopt/__init__.py in <module>()
     58 """
     59 
---> 60 from . import acquisition
     61 from . import benchmarks
     62 from . import callbacks

ImportError: cannot import name 'acquisition'

Is anyone able to reproduce?

Tried to reproduce by created a new conda environment for skopt:

$ conda create -n skopt-test python=3.5 numpy scipy`
$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git#egg=scikit-learn-0.18dev

but with this importing sklearn (master @ 9864cd5a) fails with the following message:

>>> import sklearn
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/thead/anaconda/envs/skopt-test/lib/python3.5/site-packages/sklearn/__init__.py", line 57, in <module>
    from .base import clone
  File "/Users/thead/anaconda/envs/skopt-test/lib/python3.5/site-packages/sklearn/base.py", line 11, in <module>
    from .utils.fixes import signature
ImportError: No module named 'sklearn.utils'

so I will have to understand that a bit better.

In my normal dev conda environment for skopt importing skopt from a random directory works as expected.

Is this after installing the updated version of skopt?, (i.e after #219)?

[MechCoder]

Should be fixed by #224

I am having this problem too: We installed scikit optimize in to an Anaconda environment, and I can not import it from anywhere except its root directory without getting ImportError: cannot import name acquisition.

I am using scikit-optimize version 0.4, currently on pypi.

Could you post a few instructions on how to reproduce your error? I created a new conda environment and ran pip install scikit-optimize in it. With that setup I can execute import skopt without an error.

Just in case someone came across this error again:
I am using Anaconda and when I do either pip install scikit-optimize or conda install -c conda-forge scikit-optimize as found online, it threw ImportError: cannot import name acquisition.

Empirical Solution:
conda install scikit-optimize and restart the kernel if you are on Jupyter Notebook/Lab. Somehow, I needed to conda install numpy, conda install scikit-learn, and then conda install scikit-optimize, but you might not need to.

I got a similar error when trying to import gp_minimize from skopt:

(...) cannot import name 'gp_minimize' from 'skopt' (...)

but it all sorted out when I restarted pyCharm.
