Installation

Cannot Import Graspologic

Graspologic can fail to import if some other libraries are installed in your environment.

umap

umap is a python library in PyPI. graspologic relies on the library umap-learn, which has a namespace of umap. This can cause problems with conflicts in namespaces when Python tries to load a function from the umap-learn library but is actually using the umap library.

Uninstalling umap and umap-learn, then reinstalling umap-learn fixes this issue.

Unfortunately, there is no fix if you wish to have both umap and umap-learn in the same project.
