Answer 1

if you found an issue when you try to import xgboost (my case it is Windows 10 and anaconda spyder) do the following:

1. Click on the windows icon (start button!)
2. Select and expand the anaconda folder
3. Run the Anaconda Prompt (as Administrator)
4. Type the following command as it is mentioned in https://anaconda.org/anaconda/py-xgboost

conda install -c anaconda py-xgboost

That's all...Good luck.
