imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib
imp, pandas, python, python-importlib
Solution
I was also facing the same issue but in my case, it was with sklearn Library and in order to fix the warning this is what I did (you can also try this):
- Open the file with editing privileges named `cloudpickle.py` which is present at this location `\sklearn\externals\joblib\externals\cloudpickle\cloudpickle.py`
- replace `import imp` with `import importlib` at the top of the file.
- find function named `find_module` and replace the line `file, path, description = imp.find_module(part, path)` with `file, path, description = importlib.utils.find_spec(path)`
So, in conclusion, you have to replace mention of `imp module` with `importlib` in the file which is throwing the error. In your case the file is `rewrite.py` present at `C:\Users\refaelc\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\_pytest\assertion\rewrite.py`
Problem
I'm using pandas in my code and in pandas they use the imp nodule. Now I get the following error/warnning ``` C:\Users\refaelc\AppData\Local\Temp\collection_id-96deaf03-9b39-46c0-a843-63f6101481c1-5289121858290797008.csv Step07: Compare the downloaded and the template files C:\Users\refaelc\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\importlib\_bootstrap.py:205: ImportWarning: can't resolve package from __spec__ or __package__, falling back on __name__ and __path__ return f(*args, **kwds) C:\Users\refaelc\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\_pytest\assertion\rewrite.py:7: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses import imp Item is missing from collections - int ``` Now I did some searching and realized that the imp module is being replaced by the importlib module. I updated Panda and that didn't work. It seemed unlikely that I'll need to change Panda's package code. Any thoughts/fixes?
