Do you still get an error for the following?:

```julia
julia> @time using ScikitLearn

```

I do see an older thread, with a slightly different error message (why not getting same hint here?), but the solution might still work:

> [@PyCall not properly installed](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pycall-not-properly-installed/39928):
>
> I am not able to use any package which has some connection with the PyCall package. I tried following the instructions in one of the cases (for using ScikitLearn package) and have given the output below. I tried resolving the error by following online resolved issues and felt like I am making it worse. Please help me fix this issue. I am using Julia v1.4.1 in Ubuntu 20.04 WSL. using ScikitLearn ┌ Info: Precompiling ScikitLearn [3646fa90-6ef7-5e7e-9f22-8aca16db6324] └ @ Base loading.jl:1260 ERRO…
