cannot import name 'just_fix_windows_console' from 'colorama'

[kilianmuller]

Hi,
I have just installed nevergrad, but am unable to import it.

This is on Linux.

Steps to reproduce

1. pip3 install nevergrad -> installs without a problem
2. In a Jupyter Notebook: import nevergrad as ng

Observed Results

I get the following error message:

ImportError: cannot import name 'just_fix_windows_console' from 'colorama' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/colorama/__init__.py)

I did find this related message on StackOverflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74654425/why-i-receive-importerror-cannot-import-name-just-fix-windows-console-from-c
In it they say:

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

I tried installing the latest version of colorama, but received the same error message when trying to import.

[kilianmuller]

I managed to fix the issue by downgrading colorama from version 0.4.6 to 0.4.4, and bayesian_optimization from version 1.4.2 to 1.4.0:

• pip3 install bayesian_optimization==1.4.0
• pip3 install colorama==0.4.4

[yuntichen]

Hi I also got this error message. Could anyone help me how to fix it?

• bayesian_optimization==1.4.1

• colorama==0.4.4
