This doesn't work, is too old, any have a new version o this? thanks a lot!

The new version is here to calculate the MAPE
import numpy as np

def mean_absolute_percentage_error(y_true, y_pred):
y_true, y_pred = np.array(y_true), np.array(y_pred)
return np.mean(np.abs((y_true - y_pred) / y_true)) * 100

I've used the same code part and I have this problem: ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes (7947,) (18545,) any idea?

MAPE is releasing in update 0.23 in sklearn by PR #15007.
