I have recently installed Prodigy 1.8.5 in a fresh venv.

No matter what I try, I keep getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):  
File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.6.5\_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 183, in \_run\_module\_as\_main

ImportError: cannot import name cleanup\_beam

I have searched the support site for this error with no luck. Any ideas what can be causing this?

Hi! That's definitely strange – I think the function it's trying to import is in spaCy, so maybe your versions are out-of-sync? Could you run `pip list` and check which version of spaCy you have installed?

Hi, Ines! I have an "ImportError: cannot import name cleanup\_beam" issue too.

I installed Prodigy (v1.10.5) into the new Conda environment. If I try to check the installation by "python -m prodigy stats" command, I'll get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

**ImportError: cannot import name cleanup\_beam**

I have the same result on different computers.

Ah, I now see that other people have the same. Can you try to revert back to Spacy 2.3.2 and see if that works?

It looks like you might have ended up with an older version of spaCy in your environment that you installed Prodigy into? Maybe you already had your environment set up and it didn't pull in the latest version? Can you try and upgrade spaCy to the latest stable version?

Thank you Ines. I updated to spacy 2.3.5. And seems that it works using python -m prodigy.

You should be able to just run `pip install -U spacy` to update it to the latest version.
