Hi Guys,

Hi@akhtar,

To avoid this error you can use the commands one by one.

• Uninstall previous version of numpy and setuptools

$ pip uninstall -y numpy
$ pip uninstall -y setuptools

• Reinstall latest version of numpy and setuptools

$ pip install setuptools
$ pip install numpy

Hi !

I have followed the commands and now I have setuptools-44.1.1 and numpy 1.16.6.

However I still get the error

File "/home/gg/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/statsmodels/compat/numpy.py", line 46, in <module>
    NP_LT_114 = LooseVersion(np.__version__) < LooseVersion('1.14')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'

I have struggled this for three days. Do you happen to know how to solve this?

Thanks,

Yiming

Hi,

I am using the latest version of Setuptools 47.3.1 and the latest version of Numpy 1.19.0. It is totally working fine in my system. If you are using Anaconda, then you can create a new environment and install the software.
