Notebook: ImportError: cannot import name 'secure_write'

[GabriellaKwan]

Last time(a day ago) I lauched the notebook and close it, it was running fine. Then I double clicked to open the jupyer-notebook.exe, a jupyter console window showed up and disappeared in 3 seconds and without openning the localhost:8888 page, nor could I manually open the localhost address. I used jupyter notebook command in the cmd window, it shows the following respond:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "d:\python36\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
"__main__", mod_spec)
File "d:\python36\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code

from jupyter_core.paths import jupyter_data_dir, jupyter_runtime_dir, secure_write
ImportError: cannot import name 'secure_write'

I tried reinstalling jupyter notebook using pip uninstall jupyter and pip install jupyter,but there is no use. The command jupyter notebook --help gives the same response as above.

I tried to search for similar issues online but failed finding any. If anyone knows the solution, please help. Thank you in advance!

@oscaralarcon I also just received this error. The solution above did not work for me. However, running Git Bash as administrator did for me.

Perhaps try this?

@oscaralarcon Try the last one in this ,(he replaces the _paths.py_ file )

@GabriellaKwan Try this
pip install --upgrade jupyter_client

Thanks for help , it worked

[kevin-bates]

Right on - glad folks are succeeding with the helpful tips! I'm going to close this due to the success.

Generally speaking, ensure that jupyter_client >= 5.3.4 and jupyter_core >= 4.6.1 for issues surrounding secure_write().
