scipy.stats ImportError: cannot import name 'alexandergovern'

Question

I am trying to apply scipy's Alexander Govern test:

import pandas as pd
import scipy.stats
    
df1 = pd.read_csv(r'Data1.tsv', sep='\t', encoding='utf-8')
df2 = pd.read_csv(r'Data2.tsv', sep='\t', encoding='utf-8')

from scipy.stats import alexandergovern
alexandergovernTest = alexandergovern(df1.iloc[2:,:135], df2.iloc[2:,:134])
print(alexandergovernTest)

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calculate_onewayANOVA.py", line 41, in <module>
    from scipy.stats import alexandergovern
ImportError: cannot import name 'alexandergovern'

Answer 1

This error is resolved after upgrading to python3.8 in Ubuntu 20 and installing scipy==1.7.3, as indicated by @Nelewout and @WarrenWeckesser
