Python module Gensim error "cannot import name utils"

Question

Hi I am using Gensim Word2Vec for word embedding in python.

from gensim.models import Word2Vec, KeyedVectors

But i am getting error like:

from gensim import utils
# cannot import whole gensim.corpora, because that imports wikicorpus...
from gensim.corpora.dictionary import Dictionary

ImportError: cannot import name utils. Thank you

I had a similar issue - In my case it was a dependency issue on scipy. I did the following to reinstall scipy.

pip uninstall scipy
conda install scipy

Hope this helps!
