NameError: name 'MNIST' is not defined

I got the following error when I tried to import mnist:

from sklearn.datasets import fetch_mldata
import mnist

data_path = "../dataset"
mnist = fetch_mldata('MNIST original', data_home=data_path)

#mnist = MNIST('../dataset/MNIST')
x_train, y_train = mnist.load_training() #60000 samples
x_test, y_test = mnist.load_testing()    #10000 samples
X_train = np.asarray(x_train).astype(np.float32)
y_train = np.asarray(y_train).astype(np.int32)
X_test = np.asarray(x_test).astype(np.float32)
y_test = np.asarray(y_test).astype(np.int32)

ImportError: cannot import name 'fetch_mldata' from 'sklearn.datasets' (C:\Users\Angelus\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sklearn\datasets\__init__.py)

I used Anaconda to install mist. I tried to uninstall it and install it again but I still receive the same error message

Thank you

This is not how you use Python, import and mnist, your syntax is wrong. From the documentation:

from mnist import MNIST
mndata = MNIST('./dir_with_mnist_data_files')

And please don't use mnist as a variable name because it's a package name. Already.
