[FIXED] ipython passwd not able to import with new 2022 Anaconda download

Issue

I am simply trying to do this

from IPython.lib import passwd

but I get this error

In [1]: from IPython.lib import passwd
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
Input In [1], in <cell line: 1>()
----> 1 from IPython.lib import passwd

ImportError: cannot import name 'passwd' from 'IPython.lib' (/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/IPython/lib/__init__.py)

Googled the error but nothing.

Solution

I am facing the same issue with IPython version 8.4. It seems to me that the security lib is not present anymore. If you are using version 7x you should be able to import it with

from IPython.lib.security import passwd

as denoted in https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/7.x/api/generated/IPython.lib.security.html?highlight=passwd

However, from version 8x the module security is missing...
