Newbie Anaconda Python question. I installed python-pptx from conda, followed the pptx documentation. I install it to my env which has the dependencies pptx wants i.e 

 Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, or 3.6

 lxml

 Pillow

 XlsxWriter (to use charting features)

Then I change my kernel in Jupyter to 'my_env_name', I get this error in my env: 

  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pptx'

But when I run it in my (base) through Anaconda Navigator (i.e. change my kernel to 'Python3' everything works fine.

Why is this?

do you have more than one Python interpreter installed?

Edit: Solution here How to add to the PYTHONPATH in Windows, so it finds my modules/packages?

  • how do I check to see if I have more than one Python interpreter installed? I have one anaconda installation and several ENVs. For each ENV I have a ipykernel kernel installed – KD_Raj Sep 11 '19 at 15:23
  • What OS are you on? – griffin_cosgrove Sep 11 '19 at 15:25

  • anecdotally if you have downloaded python.exe another time besides when you downloaded anaconda the answer is yes. Try typing "python" into a windows cmd prompt – griffin_cosgrove Sep 11 '19 at 15:36
  • In CMD i get **H:\>python 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.** but in Anaconda Prompt I get **(base) C:\>python Python 3.7.3 (default, Mar 27 2019, 17:13:21) [MSC v.1915 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.** – KD_Raj Sep 11 '19 at 15:41
  • it looks like you have not added python to your PATH. That can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3701646/how-to-add-to-the-pythonpath-in-windows-so-it-finds-my-modules-packages – griffin_cosgrove Sep 11 '19 at 15:49
  • The issue is i'm not admin on my system so path adding I cannot do. Any workrounds in this case? Or this is the only way? – KD_Raj Sep 12 '19 at 18:41
  • i do not know of any other way to get around this issue. – griffin_cosgrove Sep 16 '19 at 15:30
