cannot import name 'BaseModel' from 'pydantic' (unknown location)

Question

I was trying to import the library dataprep, and it looks like it has some problems.

The code was like this:

from dataprep.eda import plot
# plot_correlation,create_report,plot_missing

here is the error：

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: cannot import name 'BaseModel' from 'pydantic' (unknown location)

How do I resolve the error and successfully import the dataprep library?

How do I resolve the error and successfully import the dataprep library?

Without knowing your versions of pydantic and dataprep, you should consider the following:

1. check your path. See similar discussion in this SO: Why i can't import BaseModel from Pydantic?
2. update your version of dataprep, which should update pydantic as well (#dependencies). If pydantic is not updated, kindly update it manually with pip install -U pydantic or conda.
3. raise an issue on dataprep github
4. [not recommended] 'manually' edit the __init__.py in pydantic: check your ~\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pydantic folder.

I had a similar error message earlier this week but from pygwalker. See this SO: PyGWalker: cannot import name 'Field' from 'pydantic'
