TL;DR: scikit-learn 0.23 removed its vendored joblib. Change `from sklearn.externals import joblib` to plain `import joblib` (install it if missing).

## The error
```text
ImportError: cannot import name 'joblib' from 'sklearn.externals'
```

## Fix it
1. Replace the import:
   ```python
   import joblib
   ```
   Expected: no import error.
2. If joblib is not installed:
   ```
   pip install joblib
   ```
3. Verify:
   ```
   python -c "import joblib; print(joblib.__version__)"
   ```
   Expected: prints a version.

## When this applies
Use this when old code or tutorials do `from sklearn.externals import joblib` on scikit-learn 0.23+.

## When it does not apply
If the error names a different sklearn.externals member (like six), that vendored copy is gone too; find its standalone package. If sklearn itself will not import, reinstall it.

## Compatibility
scikit-learn 0.23+. Plain `import joblib` works on every sklearn version.

## Root cause
sklearn used to vendor joblib under sklearn.externals. In 0.23 the vendored copy was dropped and joblib became a proper declared dependency, so the old import path no longer exists.

## Edge cases
Old pickles saved with sklearn.externals.joblib still load fine with standalone joblib. If a requirements file pins ancient sklearn, upgrading sklearn is better than working around the import.
