Problems with installing and using scikit-learn in Anaconda

Question

I installed Anaconda on 64bit windows and I also installed scikit-learn using "conda install scikit-learn". However I can't find scikit-learn when I print out all modules installed in python, and I can't import scikit-learn. So I guess the package wasn't installed correctly.

But if I do "conda update scikit-learn", it will print "all reuqested packages already installed. Packages in environment at ...\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda:" Scikit-learn 0.15.2 np19py27_0

Any suggestions on what might have gone wrong?

Thanks!

i didn't import. I launched a command window, type "python", then in "help()", call "modules" — user2502206, Nov 20 '14 at 17:01
@user2502206, so if you type `import sklearn` you get an `ImportError`? — cel, Nov 20 '14 at 17:44
yes, I get a syntax error. File "", line 1 pip install scikit-learn ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax — user2502206, Nov 20 '14 at 18:12
OK I figured it out. I typed "import scikit-learn" instead of "import sklearn". Thanks all! — user2502206, Nov 20 '14 at 18:28

As mentioned in the comments, you import the scikit-learn module using:

import sklearn

If it still does not work then try to activate environment which is by default root, if you have not created separate environment while installing.

Just run from cmd : activate {env_name}

For your case, it would be : activate root then run simple python file to check scikit-learn is imported or not.

demo.py

import sklearn

See output in image below :
