ImportError: cannot import name '_scipy_univariate_kde' from 'seaborn.distributions'

[MCVifpen]

Hello,

I get the following error when trying to import msmexplorer
ImportError: cannot import name '_scipy_univariate_kde' from 'seaborn.distributions'

I reinstalled seaborn with pip, pip3 and conda install. None of these seem to work.

I'm using python 3.8 in a conda environment on linux.

Please, could you help me ?

Thank you,
Manuel

PS.: I got a similar error with joblib but found a workaround with

import sys,joblib
sys.modules['sklearn.externals.joblib'] = joblib

I solved it by installing an older version of python (python==3.6.12) and seaborn (seaborn==0.9). Use the following command to download a previous version
pip install seaborn==0.9
