No module named 'sklearn.linear_model.base'

Question

from flask import Flask, render_template, request
import pickle
import numpy as np

#Load the Random Forest Classifier model

filename = 'first-innings-score-lr-model'
regressor = pickle.load(open(filename, 'rb'))

error

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "D:\XUB\Final Year Thesis\flask\app.py", line 8, in <module>
   regressor = pickle.load(open(filename, 'rb'))
   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.linear_model.base'

I have following versions

scikit-learn 0.24.1
Python 3.9.1

First `from sklearn.linear_model import base` then use `pickle.load` — Sadegh, Mar 12 '21 at 19:49
@KillerToilet since I have scikit-learn installed it already has a sklearn so it says requirement satisfied — noob_python, Mar 12 '21 at 20:23
@Sadegh it shows following error ImportError: cannot import name 'base' from 'sklearn.linear_model' (D:\XUB\Final Year Thesis\flask\lib\site-packages\sklearn\linear_model\__init__.py) — noob_python, Mar 12 '21 at 20:26
use this answer [link](http://https://stackoverflow.com/a/30440486/10853876). I think this will work — Sadegh, Mar 12 '21 at 20:33

Short Answer

Changing .base to ._base solved the problem in my case.

Somewhat Long Answer

I also faced the same problem while working using a python library. In that library, the authors imported _preprocess_data() using the following statement.

from sklearn.linear_model.base import _preprocess_data

However, that generated the same issue.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.linear_model.base'

Then, changing the import statement by the following line solved the problem.

from sklearn.linear_model._base import _preprocess_data

In my case, I simply opened the .pkl file with notepad++. There it was written sklearn.linear_model.base. Simply deleted the word .base and saved it as is.

Then the code runs properly.
