Error: cannot import name 'SpearmanRConstantInputWarning' from 'scipy.stats'

Question

I'm getting an error when importing the skbio package on Google Colab. The error message is related to SpearmanRConstantInputWarning of the scipy.stats package. What should I do to solve this problem? I've tried to uninstall and install skbio and scipy, but it has not worked.

Answer 1

Seems to be some issue with the version. If you run

pip install scikit-bio==0.5.6

it shouldn't show that problem, at least it worked when I tried for 0.5.6 and 0.5.5 in Colab.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem, but could not downgrade to scikit-bio==0.5.6 as it conflicted with my Python version (3.10). An alternative workaround is downgrading scipy:

conda install -c conda-forge scipy=1.8

Presumably which package to downgrade will depend on your circumstances.
