When I try to import the hmmlearn package with import hmmlearn, I get this error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)

I'm in a python 3.8.5 env on a windows machine. In other environments on this machine (e.g. py 3.7) I don't get the error. Also on my MacOs machine in an 3.8.5 env I can import the package without any problems. In all cases I used pip install hmmlearn to get the package.
I uninstalled and re-installed the hmmlearn and the setuptools_scm package, but that didn't fix it.
It seems like the is a problem with my setuptools_scm package. How can this be fixed? Is there a way to completely remove the hmm package and all its dependencies and do a "clean" re-install?
I had the same problem on Windows and python 3.8.5. For me, uninstalling the hmmlearn and setuptools_scm and then reinstalling it with conda (I'm in a conda environment) fixed it.
So I did:
pip uninstall hmmlearn
pip uninstall setuptools_scm
and then
conda install -c conda-forge setuptools_scm
conda install -c conda-forge hmmlearn
Also, I restarted the kernel in jupyter notebook.
But I'm not sure if that was really the problem, since I can't recreate the problem by uninstalling it over conda and reinstalling the packages over pip.
