ImportError: cannot import name '_tiktoken' from partially initialized module 'tiktoken'

[sazirod]

I am using a freshly installed version of tiktoken==0.6.0

I am using the latest version of Anaconda with python 3.12.2 and trying to:

import tiktoken

and getting:

ImportError: cannot import name '_tiktoken' from partially initialized module 'tiktoken'

ImportError: cannot import name '_tiktoken' from partially initialized module 'tiktoken' (most likely due to a circular import) (c:\users/zzz/appdata/local/programs/python/python312/lib/site-packages\tiktoken\__init__.py)```
