Theano (0.6.0) ImportError - Python 2.7.9 :: Anaconda 2.1.0 (x86_64)

[oliverwreath]

ImportError: cannot import name gof

versions:
Theano (0.6.0)
Python 2.7.9 :: Anaconda 2.1.0 (x86_64)
in Mac OSX 10.10.1 Yosemite in case it matters.
pip 1.5.6 from /Users/skywalkerhunter/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

[abergeron]

This will need more details since we don't get such an obvious error routinely.

What is the exact command you ran? What does your python file looks like (especially the imports section)?

[lamblin]

Also, what is your current directory when you try to import theano?

[oliverwreath]

Hey I was running
(in Spyder Python 2.7, Anaconda 2.1.0 (x86_64))
in Mac OSX 10.10.1 Yosemite in case it matters.
the scripts below:

import theano
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-19-3397704bd624>", line 1, in <module>

@oliverwreath What is the result of import os; print os.getcwd() in the same environment?

[oliverwreath]

| Command | Outcome |
| --- | --- |

I have the same problem. Installed Theano via git/pip, every time I get

Hi,

You must use Theano development version, not the last release. I'm not sure
which version of Theano you use from your email:

I was using bleeding edge - pip install --upgrade --no-deps git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git.

[RacingTadpole]

Hi, thanks - I had this problem too (Mac OS with Anaconda), and using pip install --upgrade --no-deps git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git solved it.

[ddofer]

Same bug and error.
Tried installing Theano from pip, and the bleeding edge (from Git [pip install --upgrade git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git]), neither helped, still getting the error and can't import.
Windows 7.1 , 64 Bit, anaconda.

[abergeron]

Does it print any compiler error messages?

[JourneyGo]

While I try import theano in python(CentOs and Python2.7.3), a lot of code jumped out from console window,then a error showed below:

Problem occurred during compilation with the command line below:

And after this , I try to import theano again ,

came out

The problem appears to be that the compilation is trying to link with
the static library libpython2.7.a, instead of the dynamic version of the
library (which should be something like libpython2.7.so).

Do you have it installed?

Also, please use the theano-users mailing list for requesting support,
not the github tickets.

[JourneyGo]

Hey,thanks for your reply, I did remake python and do altinstall ,solved this problem.
And also thank for reminding about mailing list.

[grisaitis]

I also had this error after first installing Theano, and in my case (which I'll describe), it was fixed by simply restarting my python process.

My situation was: I started with a new machine without Theano installed. I was using Mac OS 10.9.5 and a fresh install of Anaconda 2.3.0, 64 bit, python 2.7.10. I opened an ipython console, tried import theano, and got an ImportError because Theano wasn't installed. _Without_ closing my ipython console / kernel, I pip installed theano in a separate terminal window. (This was probably bad practice - I should have closed all python sessions before installing a new package. But alas.) With theano installed, I tried importing theano again. And that's when I got the error. Next, I tore down the ipython session and opened a new one, and the error was fixed.

I'm not sure exactly why closing & opening a new ipython kernel fixed it, but it did.

In case this helps someone,

grisaitis

[hlin117]

@grisaitis Closing and opening up a new kernel helped me too. Thanks!

Hi!

I have the same problem, as describet above and here is what it is saying:

First number - this is code line and I have more than 1000 lines above. I could paste them, if they are needed

[lamblin]

Please use the theano-users mailing list for support requests, or StackOverflow.

[theaverageguy]

Just do sudo python instead of python to open the python console. Then import theano. Works like a charm.

[kpykc]

For historical reasons, I will note this here. In my case @theaverageguy suggestion had solved issue.
But in general, there was problem with .theano folder permissions:

sudo chown -R myuser:mygroup ~/.theano

Fixed the root of problem.

[rsingh2083]

@grisaitis stressed it rightly. Closing all the python session and then doing the pip install --upgrade --no-deps git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git , worked fro me. Else it was failing

[Neshatelf]

static library libpython2.7.a
How could I uninstall the static library?
