AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'core'

Question

I was wondering if anyone had this issue when running spark and trying to import numpy. Numpy imports properly in a standard notebook, but when I try importing it via a notebook running spark, I get this error. I have the most recent version of numpy and am running the most recent anaconda python 3.6.

Thanks!

Solution

I was having the same issue and I tried upgrading the numpy package using pip and it has got resolved.

pip install --upgrade numpy

(base) C:\Users\Mohanavelu>pip install --upgrade numpy
