I think the problem is with your pip... It installs mlbox in the wrong repo. Can you try to upgrade pip or use pip3 instead ? Also can you try to import mlbox using python3 in the terminal : $ python3 >>> import mlbox

[Henri-Gerard]

Thanks for your patience, I was not available this month. Apparently the problem comes from matplotlib

File "/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mlbox/prediction/predictor.py", line 15, in matplotlib.use('TkAgg') AttributeError: module 'matplotlib' has no attribute 'use'

Thus mlbox cannot be imported.

Open a terminal and copy paste the following import matplotlib matplotlib.use('TkAgg')

Does it raise any error ?

If in any case you solved the problem, thanks to share your solution and to close the issue :)

Normally it has been fixed. See https://github.com/AxeldeRomblay/MLBox/issues/82
