ImportError : cannot import name "XGBClassifier"

I am under anaconda notebook.

I have recently installed xgboost but I cannot access XGBClassifier : 

from xgboost import XGBClassifier

When I import only xgboost and write xgboost it prints that the module is here ..

Install xgboost on anaconda3, pip install xgboost

After that when importing the library use

from xgboost.sklearn import XGBRegressor

Works perfectly

use this instead : -

import xgboost as xgb
xgb_regressor = xgb.XGBRegressor()

This worked for me.......

Mine works after renaming the py file I was working on. I my case, from 'xgboost' to something else.

P.S. Restarting anaconda/spyder didn't work for me

The issue was that I did not install xgboost for anaconda, so writing : 

conda install -c conda-forge xgboost=0.6a2

solved my problem, thank you
