ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.utils._joblib'
Solution 1
Install and import joblib directly:
!pip install joblib
import joblib
Solution 2
This comment on a PR in May 2019 mentions that they wanted to ditch it.
As of June 2019, sklearn.utils._joblib
is no longer a thing.
- Why this code didn't work back in March is hard to say, as it was still supported the May release
Analysis: you've got old versions in your environment. Perhaps pip install -r requirements.txt
got you, overriding the working version, or something else.
Recommendation: make a new conda
environment, reinstall sklearn and joblib (via conda install scikit-learn joblib
) in that environment and move forward.

I'm using python 3.6 on on Anaconda Jupyter notebooks platform. My pc uses win 8.1 as OS.
I was trying to import PCA from sklearn using the following lines:
import sklearn from sklearn import decomposition from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
the third line returns a Module error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.utils._joblib'
Strangely, I couldn't find any record on this error online! I'd appreciate any help. I copied the complete error message below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-375-2e95ea83a366> in <module>() 1 import sklearn ----> 2 from sklearn import decomposition 3 from sklearn.decomposition import PCA 4 # Make an instance of the Model 5 pca = PCA(.95) E:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sklearn\decomposition\__init__.py in <module>() 9 from .incremental_pca import IncrementalPCA 10 from .kernel_pca import KernelPCA ---> 11 from .sparse_pca import SparsePCA, MiniBatchSparsePCA 12 from .truncated_svd import TruncatedSVD 13 from .fastica_ import FastICA, fastica E:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sklearn\decomposition\sparse_pca.py in <module>() 11 from ..linear_model import ridge_regression 12 from ..base import BaseEstimator, TransformerMixin ---> 13 from .dict_learning import dict_learning, dict_learning_online 14 15 E:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sklearn\decomposition\dict_learning.py in <module>() 15 16 from ..base import BaseEstimator, TransformerMixin ---> 17 from ..utils._joblib import Parallel, delayed, effective_n_jobs 18 from ..externals.six.moves import zip 19 from ..utils import (check_array, check_random_state, gen_even_slices, ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.utils._joblib'
