When importing sklearn datasets eg.
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_mldata from sklearn.datasets import fetch_openml
I get the error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "numbers.py", line 1, in <module> from sklearn.datasets import fetch_openml File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/sklearn/__init__.py", line 64, in <module> from .base import clone File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/sklearn/base.py", line 11, in <module> import numpy as np File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 142, in <module> from . import core File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py", line 93, in <module> from . import numerictypes as nt File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/numpy/core/numerictypes.py", line 86, in <module> import numbers File "/Users/airocoop/repos/Numbers/numbers.py", line 1, in <module> from sklearn.datasets import fetch_openml File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/sklearn/datasets/__init__.py", line 6, in <module> from .base import load_breast_cancer File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/sklearn/datasets/base.py", line 20, in <module> from ..utils import Bunch File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/sklearn/utils/__init__.py", line 10, in <module> from scipy.sparse import issparse File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/scipy/__init__.py", line 72, in <module> from numpy.random import rand, randn File "/anaconda2/envs/numbers/lib/python3.5/site-packages/numpy/random/__init__.py", line 143, in <module> from .mtrand import * File "numpy.pxd", line 87, in init mtrand AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'dtype'
I am not sure why I get this
I don’t get this error when running things from a jupyter notebook, which is also weird. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated

Answer
I figured this out. The answer is that the file I was running was named numbers.py
. This screws the whole thing up. If you have this problem check to make sure you don’t have a file in the directory called numbers.py
Easy way to check is move the file with the import statement to a different directory and try running it.
