I can't get my jupyter notebook properly import any modules. The weird thing is, I am able to import numpy but not pandas with Sublime.

I wiped out every python related content on my Mac and re-installed anaconda. Here's the import error message for numpy on jupyter:

  • You say Anaconda in the title, but your trace-back shows Enthought Canopy. Maybe you should start fresh. Also consider making yourself custom python installations with `virtualenv` if you need different environments. – roadrunner66 Mar 07 '16 at 01:30
  • Hello may I know how should I "start fresh"? – Zenith Mar 07 '16 at 02:31
  • I meant, I uninstalled unthought canopy a long time ago but i don't know why these documents still exist – Zenith Mar 07 '16 at 02:34
  • If they're still on your machine, they're not uninstalled. – Paul H Mar 07 '16 at 02:56
  • Uninstall everything. Reinstall. I use `anaconda` and I just google "install xyz on anaconda" when I need unusual packages. If you however, need certain packages, that have contradictory requirements, `virtualenv` helps you keep different installations separate. – roadrunner66 Mar 07 '16 at 03:09

Deleting everything Python related is a bad idea. There are system files which require it. Hopefully you didn't delete the wrong files and won't have to reinstall your operating system.

Regarding your question, you need to first activate your conda environment before launching jupyter notebook.

To see which environment you already have installed, type the following from a terminal window:

conda info --envs

Then type the following to activate your environment (obviously my_env is the name of what ever your environment is).

source activate my_env

From here, you are in your conda environment. To open Jupyter notebook, just type:

jupyter notebook

This notebook will be linked to your conda environment and will have access to all modules therein (type conda list from the terminal once you've activated your environment per above to see them, or !conda list from within the notebook).

Just for fun, we'll create a quick environment named test_env.

conda create -n test_env pandas jupyter notebook qtconsole matplotlib
source activate test_env
jupyter notebook  # launches your notebook

Alternatively, to launch qtconsole:

jupyter qtconsole

Although we only installed a few packages, all linked dependencies are also installed (including numpy). This is now the output of conda list:

$ conda list
# packages in environment at /usr/local/miniconda/envs/test_env:

Once done, deactivate the environment.

source deactivate  # From within the terminal of the active environment.

If you'd like to delete it:

conda env remove -n test_env

  • You're welcome. Would you mind accepting the answer? – Alexander Mar 07 '16 at 05:11
  • btw, how did you "spot" the problem is that my environment was not activated? and where do you learn how to solve this type of problem? – Zenith Mar 07 '16 at 05:12
  • Years of experience... And by the way, I once trashed my OS and had to reinstall. Once I found conda, I've never looked back! I don't really have a need for virtualenv, as I find conda satisfies all of my needs. (btw, I don't work for Continuum) – Alexander Mar 07 '16 at 05:13
