ImportError: cannot import name 'process_tweet' from 'utils'

[ctowo]

I’m presently taking Natural Language Processing specialization via Coursera.

I couldn’t progress with the week 1 assignment because of the error encounter. The error is "ImportError: cannot import name ‘process_tweet’ from ‘utils’ ".

Error message screenshot is attached. I have searched online resources including Google search and YouTube without solution.

ImportError: cannot import name 'process_tweet' from 'utils' (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\utils\__init__.py)

Please help to resolve

You need to post in the specializations relevant page not in discussion (I changed that this time).

Are you running this on your machine or Coursera?

If in Coursera, I am not sure you might have deleted something; its better to do a Lab reset first, check this:

How to Get a Clean Copy of an Assignment Notebook

If you want to restore the original unmodified state of any of the notebooks or the other files associated with any of the assignments, you can use the “Lab Help” menu of Coursera Labs to do that. The first thing to do is to rename the existing notebook, because this procedure will not overwrite existing files. You need to move the current version of the notebook aside or delete it. The advantage of renaming is that you can later copy any completed work as desired to the fresh copy of the noteb…

and then run all cells from scratch again!

Thank you for your support. I used my machine and not lab. It runs well in the Lab but throw me error when using my machine

This is because you also need to use the utils file which contains the necessary imports used in the Lab file! Go to File-> Open and check the utils files, others adaptions might be necessary as well such as Python version and TF version…

If you run the notebooks locally, you need all the files, not just the notebook. Here’s a thread about how to download all the files, but that’s also only the start. Then you need exactly the same versions of all the various packages that are used. There is no easy or “official” way to accomplish that, but here is a thread that gets you started down that road. There are too many possibilities for us to support you in that: you’ll need to figure it out yourself.

You’re really better off just running the assignments on the course website.
