When "import pandas_profiling": Get Module YAML has no Attribute SafeLoader

[vlstrode]

I am using an AWS EC2 Linux Instance. Red Hat Linux (Linux version 4.14.128-112.105.amzn2.x86_64 (mockbuild@ip-10-0-1-243) (gcc version 7.3.1 20180303 (Red Hat 7.3.1-5) (GCC)) #1 SMP Wed Jun 19 16:53:40 UTC 2019)

I'm using Python 3.7.

I was able to run the Pip Install without a problem. However, when I import the package, I get the following error message:
>>> import pandas_profiling Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas_profiling/__init__.py", line 17, in <module> from pandas_profiling.config import config File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas_profiling/config.py", line 4, in <module> import confuse File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/confuse.py", line 720, in <module> class Loader(yaml.SafeLoader): AttributeError: module 'yaml' has no attribute 'SafeLoader'

I have also tried loading this from the " https://github.com/pandas-profiling/pandas-profiling/archive/master.zip" and get the same error when trying to use it.

The YAML library which is installed when loading the master.zip displays as shown below:
Requirement already satisfied: pyyaml in /usr/local/lib64/python3.7/site-packages (from confuse>=1.0.0->pandas-profiling==2.3.0) (5.1.2)

These are the only package contents (no SafeLoader Listed):
PACKAGE CONTENTS
composer
constructor
cyaml
dumper
emitter
error
events
loader
nodes
parser
reader
representer
resolver
scanner
serializer
tokens

Any idea what I've done incorrectly?
Thank you!

Thank you for raising this issue.

The problem here lies with the combination of pyyaml (possibly related) and confuse. I'd recommend creating an issue at their issue page.
