module ‘skimage.data’ has no attribute ‘imread’

import skimage 
image = skimage.data.imread("my_image.png")

I used this code to read an image, but I got an error as “skimage.data” has no attribute “imread”. My skimage version is 0.18.1. What has to be changed in this to read an image?

Answer

The error is straightforward. You try to call the imread function in the data module, but there is no such function in this module. Call

skimage.io.imread('blah.png') 

instead.
