Cannot import name 'soft_unicode' from 'markupsafe' in google colab

I'm trying to install pycaret==3.0.0 in google colab, But I'm having a problem, the library requires Jinja2 to be installed which I did, but then It finally throws off another error.

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: cannot import name 'soft_unicode' from 'markupsafe' (/root/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/markupsafe/__init__.py)
Solution

  • This is caused by upgrade in MarkupSafe:2.1.0 where they have removed soft_unicode, try using:

    pip install markupsafe==2.0.1
