Problem with importing librosa on Jupyter notebook

[Eylul Erler]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Python and I need to use librosa for my project about sound analysis. I'm having trouble with importing librosa on Jupyter notebook. I'm pretty sure I installed it correctly. All the other library imports work but when I try to import librosa, the notebook does not execute it and [*] mark always stays. When I stop execution, this show up.

Any idea why I get this?

I think the problem here is coming from numba, which we use to compile some functions at load-time for efficiency.  Numba will want to save the compiled objects in the same place as the module, but if you don't have write permission to that location (eg because it's an administrator-installed package), that would cause this error.

The "easiest" way to work around this is to set an environment variable prior to importing librosa which will change numba's cache directory (see https://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/dev/reference/envvars.html#envvar-NUMBA_CACHE_DIR )

Something like:

import os

import IPython

os.environ['NUMBA_CACHE_DIR'] = IPython.paths.get_ipython_cache_dir()

import librosa

ought to do the trick.

It works, thank you so much Brian!
