I have started learning Tensorflow. I am using Pycharm and my environment is Ubuntu 16.04. I am following the tutorial. I cross check the nump. It is up-to-date. I don't know the reason of this error.

from numpy.lib.arraypad import _validate_lengths

ImportError: cannot import name '_validate_lengths'

Need hint to resolve this error. Thank you.

    directories = [d for d in os.listdir(data_dir)
                   if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(data_dir, d))]
    # Loop through the label directories and collect the data in
    # two lists, labels and images.
    labels = []
    images = []
    for d in directories:

        for f in file_names:

            labels.append(int(d))

images, labels = load_data(train_data_dir)

# Print the `images` dimensions
print(images.ndim)

# Print the number of `images`'s elements
print(images.size)

I updated my skimage package.

pip install --upgrade scikit-image -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple

And the problem was solved. It's a problem of version of Skimage, which is solved in 0.14.2. PLus, this version is quite stable.

    Installing collected packages: dask, scikit-image
  Found existing installation: dask 0.19.1
    Uninstalling dask-0.19.1:
      Successfully uninstalled dask-0.19.1
  Found existing installation: scikit-image 0.13.0
    Uninstalling scikit-image-0.13.0:
      Successfully uninstalled scikit-image-0.13.0
Successfully installed dask-1.0.0 scikit-image-0.14.2

scikit-image 0.14.2 worked with numpy 1.16.3. I installed numpy first and then installed scikit image

I had the same error, I did the following steps:

uninstall scikit-image

pip uninstall scikit-image

or

conda uninstall scikit-image

and then

pip install scikit-image

or

conda install -c conda-forge scikit-image

• After following the above steps getting this error: ImportError: cannot import name 'img_as_float32'. Using Version of Numpy: 1.17.0 & skimage: 0.13.0, Python 3 – Yogesh Aug 24 '19 at 7:03 

• If you are in a jupyter notebook, do not forget to add the --y argument, like !conda uninstall scikit-image --y or !conda install -c conda-forge scikit-image --y – Ivan Apr 10 at 14:54

For me the magic dependency was:

pip install scikit-image==0.13.1
pip install numpy==1.15

For python 3.5 and python 3.6

upgrade scikit-image to latest, OR downgrade NumPy to 1.15.

 pip install -U scikit-image

or

 pip install numpy==1.15

if the pip isn't latest. You may need this:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

refer to Getting ImportError: cannot import name '_validate_lengths' #3906 .
