ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'skbio.stats.diversity'

Question

I am trying to import the beta_diversity function from the skbio.stats.diversity module in Python:

from skbio.stats.diversity import beta_diversity

but I am encountering a ModuleNotFoundError with the message No module named 'skbio.stats.diversity'.

I have already installed the scikit-bio package using pip. I have checked my Python environment and confirmed that the package is installed. However, it seems that the specific module within scikit-bio is not accessible.

I have tried reinstalling the package and updating it to the latest version, but the error still persists.

Why am I encountering this error and how can I resolve it?

Answer 1

The diversity module is directly under skbio, your import statement should be:

from skbio.diversity import beta_diversity
