How to remove the error "SystemError: initialization of _internal failed without raising an exception"

I am trying to import Top2Vec package for nlp topic modelling. But even after upgrading pip, numpy this error is coming.

I tried

pip install --upgrade pip

pip install --upgrade numpy

I was expecting to run

from top2vec import Top2Vec

model = Top2Vec(FAQs, speed='learn', workers=8)

but it is giving the mentioned error

For me, numba caused the error, which was shown inside the error message. Updating numba solved the problem:

pip install -U numba

I had a similar error that required updating numba. The root issue was that my Python environment was pinned to Python 3.9. Updating the whole environment to Python 3.10 resolved the issue.

In my case, as for @CGFoX, I needed to uninstall and reinstall numba. The catch was that numba had been introduced by installing umap but then changed when I later imported scikit-image. After the latter import I had to reinstall numba-0.56.4 to avoid the error.

For me it was not the numpy release as I was already on the version 1.23.5. I simply restarted the kernel and re-imported top2vec and it worked.

P.S. I was on an AWS Linux machine

It's probably related to the latest numpy release (v1.24.0). Try installing version 1.23.5:

pip install numpy==1.23.5
