SKlearn import MLPClassifier fails

Question

I am trying to use the multilayer perceptron from scikit-learn in python. My problem is, that the import is not working. All other modules from scikit-learn are working fine

Answer 1

I arrived here with the v0.17 problem too. I found a solution using pip here, namely

    pip install git+https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git

I had to execute pip install cython first though.

However, that installs 0.19.dev0 (currently), but pip list indicates that the latest is 0.18rc2. Rather

    pip install scikit-learn==0.18.rc2

resolved the issue more satisfactorily.
