Why I receive ImportError: cannot import name 'just_fix_windows_console' from 'colorama'?

Question

I have to use BayesianOptimization for hyper parameter tuning for neural networks, for the same when I'm importing it using, from bayes_opt import BayesianOptimization, the following error is obtained

`ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: cannot import name 'just_fix_windows_console' from 'colorama' (C:\Users\saiga\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\colorama\__init__.py)

• I have tried importing 'colorama', and other modules in it, which was working, but this name isn't.
• Also BayesianOptimization can be directly imported, using import BayesianOptimization but I need to call BayesianOPtimization in the program later using

gbm_bo = BayesianOptimization(gbm_cl_bo, params_gbm, random_state=111)

where gbm_cl_bo are functions defined. But then, the below given error is coming.

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

So, inorder to avoid this I think I need to call BayesianOptimization from a parent directory. For the same I have also tried the following code : "from .BayesianOptimization import BayesianOptimization", but received the error as

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
~\AppData\Local\Temp\ipykernel_28896\572044167.py in <module>
----> 1 from .BayesianOptimization import BayesianOptimization

ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

1. So how to fix the above import error?
2. Otherwise, is there an alternate way of calling BayesianOptimization, so as not to get the error "'module' object is not callable".

Answer 1

Based on the changelog for colorama, that function was added in the latest version of the library, 0.4.6.

Make sure you have that version installed, with e.g. pip install -U colorama.
