Cannot import scikits-learn even though it seems to be installed

问题

Per the scikit-learn user guide, I installed scikit-learn using pip install -U scikit-learn.

So using pip search scikit-learn, I get this search result:

scikit-learn - A set of python modules for machine learning and data mining
INSTALLED: 0.12.1 (latest)

But when I go into Python and try to import sklearn, I get an ImportError: No module named sklearn. This really should have just worked.

I am using Enthought's free distribution of Python (2.7.3) on a Mac OS 10.6.8 with NumPy 1.6.1 and SciPy 0.10.1. Yes, I'm aware that EPD Free comes with scikit-learn but pip should have upgraded my version so that I can actually use scikit-learn.

Got same problem, @Alan gave correct solution but hard way. Here are easy steps to resolve issue, as i am on mac osx, giving steps for same.

Ameys-Mac-mini:~ amey$ python --version
Python 2.7.2
Ameys-Mac-mini:~ amey$ cd /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/
Ameys-Mac-mini:site-packages amey$ brew install gcc
Ameys-Mac-mini:site-packages amey$ sudo pip install -t . numpy scipy scikit-learn

Thanks folks (see comment thread under the question)! It turns out that I have two versions of Python under my Mac's /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework directory tree: 2.7 (came with OSX) and 7.3 (installed by EPD Free).

It turns out pip put scikit-learn under 2.7 when I really wanted it under 7.3.

Changing directories to site-packages under the desired version of Python, and invoking pip install -t . {package-name} suffices to install package-name under the desired version of Python.

In my case, my python extension has installed all in

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/

After I use the command given by the official site

pip install -U numpy scipy scikit-learn

the scikit-learn package was actually installed in my

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

So I copied all the packages in second to the first directory, then I can import the sklearn package.

For future reference:

easy_install -U statsmodels
