Hyperopt installation on Windows using Anaconda

[hamidi...@gmail.com]

I would greatly appreciate if you could let me know how to install Hyperopt. In fact, I am using anaconda on windows 10 so I tried this instruction to install it as it shows below:

(C:\Users\Markazi.co\ Anaconda3) C:\Users\Markazi.co>conda install -c jaikumarm hyperopt=0.1
Fetching package metadata ...........
Solving package specifications: .

PackageNotFoundError: Package not found: '' Package missing in current win-64 channels:
  - hyperopt 0.1*

You can search for packages on anaconda.org with

    anaconda search -t conda hyperopt

(C:\Users\Markazi.co\ Anaconda3) C:\Users\Markazi.co>conda install -c jaikumarm hyperopt
Fetching package metadata ...........
Solving package specifications: ..........

# All requested packages already installed.
# packages in environment at C:\Users\Markazi.co\Anaconda3:
#
hyperopt                  0.0.3.dev                py35_0    jaikumarm

(C:\Users\Markazi.co\ Anaconda3) C:\Users\Markazi.co>

Although it seems that the packages are installed, this error is reported:

from hyperopt import hp, fmin, tpe

ImportError: cannot import name 'hp'

Then, I tried to install it using python:

(C:\Users\Markazi.co\Anaconda3) C:\Users\Markazi.co>conda remove -c jaikumarm hyperopt

Again, it is installed but the same error is reported:

    from hyperopt import hyperopt, fmin, tpe
ImportError: cannot import name 'hyperopt'

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

On Windows 10, 

conda install -c jaikumarm hyperopt=0.1

gave me the same error. 

However 

conda install -c jaikumarm hyperopt

 allowed me to download version 0.0.3.dev. And from there I could import hp, fmin and tpe. 

I'd say remove all traces of the package from your system and try running 

conda install -c jaikumarm hyperopt

again. 

Best,
