Importing _udunits2 on Google Colab

[mg725]

Hi, I am currently trying to use Iris within Google Colab. I have managed to install it through Conda, however I am struggling to import it - when I do, the following error message is returned:

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 import iris
6 frames
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cf_units/init.py in () 43 from .util import _OrderedHashable, approx_equal 44 ---> 45 from cf_units import _udunits2 as _ud 46 from cf_units._udunits2 import (UT_ASCII, UT_ISO_8859_1, UT_LATIN1, UT_UTF8, 47 UT_NAMES, UT_DEFINITION) ImportError: cannot import name '_udunits2' from 'cf_units' (/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cf_units/init.py)

The problem seems to be that Google Colab is struggling to import _udunits2 from cf_units. I have checked and both these packages are installed on Google Colab and so I can't understand why they won't import.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to get round this issue? Thanks very much in advance if you can help out at all!
