I have recently installed FEniCS using Docker with following command

Terminal> curl -s https://get.fenicsproject.org | bash

Every thing works well when I am in fenicsproject session. In this session when I use which python I get the following

   fenics@7016ac685f58:~$ which python
   /usr/bin/python

However, when I try to use the following command in Jupyter Notebook

from fenics import *

I get the following error

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-4-66a9e72f2de9> in <module>()
      2 # Poisson solver in Python using FEniCS
      3 # import FEniCS
----> 4 from fenics import *
      5 #
      6 # create mesh and denfine functional space

ImportError: No module named fenics

I had the same problem. Something strange happens whenever I use fenics through Anaconda. I deactivated Anaconda and runned the fenics in the system. Worked perfectly.
