ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.datasets.mldata'

Question

I am trying the following snippet:

from sklearn.datasets.mldata import fetch_mldata

However, I get the error message:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.datasets.mldata'

Then I tried to figure out the problem:

Can you identify the issue?

The sklearn.datasets.mldata module was deprecated in version 0.20 and will be removed in version 0.22. You can use the from sklearn.datasets import fetch_openml function instead.

For more information, see the sklearn.datasets.fetch_openml documentation:

You are trying to import from the wrong module. from sklearn.datasets import fetch_ml

See: https://scikit-learn.org/0.16/modules/generated/sklearn.datasets.fetch_mldata.html
