Hello, 

I am trying to use sklearn as part of my analysis but I am running into problems importing it. I was able to successfully install scikit-learn (sklearn) into my cloned environment. The installation was successful via the command line with conda, and in the internal Python Package Manager, but both result in the same issue when I try and import sklearn. The strange part is that I am able to successfully import sklearn in my external python command prompt (in the same environment), but I am not able to import it in the python window within ArcPro. I installed the most recent patch, so I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.8.3, Python 3.7.10 [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)]. 

When I try to import sklearn in the python window within ArcPro, I get this error:

 

 

print(sys.version)
3.7.10 [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)]
print(sys.prefix)
C:\Users\kwilson\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs\arcgispro-py3-clone2
import sklearn

    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found

 

 

But when I import sklearn in my external Python Command Prompt there are no issues: 

 

 

(arcgispro-py3-clone2) C:\Users\kwilson\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs\arcgispro-py3-clone2>python
Python 3.7.10 [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.version)
3.7.10 [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)]
>>> print(sys.prefix)
C:\Users\kwilson\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs\arcgispro-py3-clone2
>>> import sklearn
>>> import scipy
>>>

 

 

The environment and versions are the same as far as I can tell. I tried following the steps from this post but was still unsuccessful: https://community.esri.com/t5/water-resources-questions/archydro-wetland-identification-model-scikit...

Ultimately I would like to be able to use sklearn in Jupyter outside of ArcPro but using the same environment that I set inside ArcPro (in this case: arcgispro-py3-clone2).

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

Yes, I activated my environment. I ended up solving the issue by installing sklearn in the python command prompt without updates. First, make sure the environment is activated, then open a python command prompt. Then: 

pip install scikit-learn

I'm running into an identical issue with some machines (but not all); was a solution ever found?
