ModuleNotFoundError No Module Named sklearn_genetic

The ModuleNotFoundError No Module Named sklearn_genetic error occurs because for a number of reasons which include not installing the module on your system, or with broken installations, and many other possible reasons.

Sometimes, when you try to import the module sklearn_genetic without installing, you will get ModuleNotFoundError: No Module Named sklearn_genetic error. Even sometimes, this error occurs after installing the module as well. In this short article, we will discuss how we can solve the ModuleNotFoundError: No Module Named sklearn_genetic error using various methods and will highlight some of the common reasons as well.

Solve ModuleNotFoundError: No Module Named sklearn_genetic in Python

The error ModuleNotFoundError: No Module Named sklearn_genetic is caused by importing the sklearn_genetic module without installing it on our system or it can also occur because of incorrect installation of the module. The simplest way to solve the issue is to install the module again on the system using the correct commands.

When I tried to import the module without installation, I got the following error:

# importing the module
import sklearn_genetic

Output:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[2], line 2
      1 # importing the module
----> 2 import sklearn_genetic

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn_genetic'

In this section, we will go through various methods to solve the issue.

Solution-1: Installing the Sklearn_genetic module

In Python, one of the easiest ways to install the modules on our system is to use the pip command. Let us use the pip command to install the sklearn_genetic module on our system.

#pip version
pip install sklearn-genetic

#using pip3 version
pip3 install sklearn-genetic

If you get a permission error for the given commands, then you can use the following commands in order to install the module on your system.

# on linux operating system
sudo pip3 install sklearn-genetic

# on windows
pip install sklearn-genetic --user

If you have Path Issue, then you need to use the following commands for the installation of the sklearn_genetic module.

# using pip version
python -m pip install sklearn-genetic

#using pip3 version
python3 -m pip install sklearn-genetic

In case you are using a Jupyter Notebook or Anaconda, you can use the following commands to install the module.

# jupyter notebook
!pip install sklearn-genetic

# anaconda 
conda install sklearn-genetic

Hopefully, you will get rid of the error.

Solution-2: ModuleNotFoundError after installing sklearn_genetic

If you already have installed the module on your system, but still get ModuleNotFoundError: No Module Named sklearn_genetic error, then you can install the module using the following commands:

# using pip command
pip install sklearn-genetic-opt

In my case, this command helped me to solve the issue. If you are using a different operating system, then any of the following commands will help you.

# using pip version
python -m pip install sklearn-genetic-opt

#using pip3 version
python3 -m pip install sklearn-genetic-opt

# on linux operating system
sudo pip3 install sklearn-genetic-opt

# on windows
pip install sklearn-genetic-opt --user

# jupyter notebook
!pip install sklearn-genetic-opt

# anaconda 
conda install sklearn-genetic-opt

These commands will help you to solve the problem.

Solution-3: Installing the sklearn_genetic on Virtual Environment

Another method is to install the sklearn_genetic module in a virtual environment. In this case, first, you need to create a virtual environment and then activate it using the following commands.

# create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv

#  activate on Unix or MacOS
source venv/bin/activate

# activate on Windows (cmd.exe)
venv\Scripts\activate.bat

# activate on Windows (PowerShell)
venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Once you have a virtual environment, you can then install the module using any of the given methods.

pip install sklearn-genetic-opt

Note that this module is now installed only on your virtual environment, it cannot be used in any other directory.

Reasons for getting ModuleNotFoundError: No Module Named sklearn_genetic

We have discussed various possible solutions in order to solve the problem. However, we didn’t have covered all the possible reasons and their solutions. Here we will list all the possible reasons for getting this error.

• The module is not installed on your system and you are trying to import the module. So, first please make sure you have installed the module correctly on your system.
• Please check the module name. Maybe you have a typo mistake and you are importing something else.
• Sometimes, we get the error because of a conflict in the versions of the module. If the module installed on our system is of a different version than the module which is required for the specific program.
• You will get the same error if you had installed the module globally and then tried to import the module on a virtual environment. In such a case, you need to again install the module on your virtual environment again as well.

Summary

The ModuleNotFoundError: No Module Named sklearn_genetic error occurs when we tried to import the module without properly installing it on our system and it can be solved by installing the module correctly on our system. In this article, we discussed how we can install the module on our system using various methods in order to get rid of the error.
