How to Fix ImportError: cannot import name ‘open’ from ‘smart_open’

cannot import name 'open' from 'smart_open'

ImportError: cannot import name ‘open’ from ‘smart_open’ error occurs when the “smart_open library is not installed or not installed correctly.”

How to fix it?

To fix the ImportError: cannot import name ‘open’ from ‘smart_open’ error, “install the ‘smart_open’ library”.

pip install smart_open==6.3.0

# OR

conda install smart_open==6.3.0

install smart_open library

The smart_open is a Python 2 & 3 library for efficiently streaming large files from/to S3, HDFS, WebHDFS, or local (compressed) files. It is well-tested (using Moto), well-documented, and sports a simple Pythonic API.

An alternate way is to upgrade the smart_open library using this command:

pip install smart_open --upgrade

If you still get the error after updating smart_open and checking that it is installed correctly, you may need to uninstall and reinstall smart_open. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:

pip uninstall smart_open

pip install smart_open

This should fix the error.
