'Colorama' has no attribute 'init' and has no attribute 'just_fix_windows_console'

I am on Windows Version 10.0.19045.4046 using Python 3.7.16 with Colorama 0.4.6 installed in my anaconda environment with python 3.7. When trying to import an external library that uses colorama I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: module 'colorama' has no attribute 'init'

I tried to edit the tqdm/utils.py file to use just_fix_windows_console() instead and get a similar issue:

Found a solution in another issue.

You have to import colorama using from colorama import initialise
