Jupyter Notebook Python Error while Importing Spacy : No module named click._bashcomplete

Question

My notebook was working fine till 7 days back, which was the last time I touched it. Now I am getting this error.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click._bashcomplete'

UPDATE:

I reinstalled spacy. Now I am getting this error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)

---> 10 from thinc.neural.util import prefer_gpu, require_gpu
     11 
     12 from . import pipeline

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'thinc.neural'

I then reinstalled thinc but the error isnt going away. I will attempt the other answer suggested. I am typing more because stackoverflow isnt letting me save the edits because it says my post is mostly code.

EDIT 2:

Ok, so I re-installed spacy after reinstalling thinc and now it seems to be working. phew..

Answer 1

In my case, I installed the lower version of click.

pip install click==7.0

and after that, I get an error like 'Exit module not found' and installed it also

pip install Exit

Restarted my notebook and spacy gets imported without any errors.

Answer 2

Uninstall click and spaCy and then reinstall spaCy. If possible it's better to start in a clean environment, but at a minimum just doing those two should work.

To clarify, this is happening because the latest version of click doesn't work with spaCy. spaCy specifies using an old click version, so that'll be installed when you install spaCy, but if you upgrade click on your own spaCy won't stop you.
