"No module named 'lab_utils_common'"

Question

I was trying to run this program below but it's showing the error "No module named 'lab_utils_common'", what can I do to solve this problem?

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from lab_utils_common import  plot_data, sigmoid, dcl

plt.style.use('./deeplearning.mplstyle')

Answer 1

lab_utils_common package is either not publicly available or not actively maintained.

Answer 2

Two possible scenarios:

• lab_utils_common is a published package, but not installed. Use pip or conda to install.
• lab_utils_common is supposed to be a local module written to lab_utils_common.py, but is missing. See more on modules if interested.

Answer 3

I downloaded this file and I think it worked for me:

https://github.com/MeteAslan/Utils/blob/main/lab_utils_common.py

Give it a try

Answer 4

For those who have signed up for the Coursera AI/ML Course by Andrew Ng and want to backup the labs for personal reference at a later date, read on to see how to do it.

As this is my first time using Coursera, I wasn't sure if I would have access to it at a later date.

To make a backup,of all files required to run the labs just click 'Lab Files'

1. open folder
2. copy all content.
3. place in your folder with the labs on your local computer.
4. to save the labs go to the file -> download as -> Notebook option.
