AttributeError: module 'hyperopt' has no attribute 'uniform'

Question

I am trying to define a parameter space in hyperopt. However, when I run:

import hyperopt as hp
SPACE = {'d1': hp.uniform('d1',-1000000,-0.5),
'd2': hp.uniform('d2',0,1),
'd3': hp.uniform('d3',0,1)} 

I receive the error in the title. The only thing I found online was that I should try downgrading to networkx 1.11, so in the command prompt I ran:

pip install networkx==1.11

and it apparently worked, but still no luck with the attribute uniform.

Answer 1

The correct way to import the hp part of the hyperopt module is

from hyperopt import hp

You have used

import hyperopt as hp

Answer 2

Hyperopt has inbuilt module hp which has the function uniform within it

import hyperopt.hp as hp

and then hp.uniform would work fine for you. This works good with networkx-2.2.
