I installed imbalanced-learn package using (Python 2.7):
conda install -c conda-forge imbalanced-learn
after installing it, I tried to import SMOTE from the package.
from imblearn.over_sampling import SMOTE
which gave the following error:
File "C:\.conda\envs\py27\lib\site-packages\imblearn\base.py", line 21
class SamplerMixin(BaseEstimator, metaclass=ABCMeta):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
can anybody help me in resolving this error or point out if I didn't install the package correctly?
The version that has been installed by conda
is not compatible with Python 2 (I advise you to not use it since all datascience package stop to support it).
You can see it because the syntax to the metaclass should be written in the following manner in Python 2:
class SamplerMixin(BaseEstimator):
__metaclass__ = ABC
if I recall correctly
