Can not import library installed in Anaconda 2 while operating with different environments

Question

I have Anaconda 2 with Python 2.7 running on Windows 8. I have installed GraphLab and GraphLab has created a separate environment in Anaconda -- the gl-env environment.

I am facing problems in importing libraries that I have installed successfully via conda through the Windows Commander from the Scripts subdirectory.

For example, I installed wget successfully but when I try to import it from my Jupyter Notebook from the gl-env environment I get an error message that the module does not exist.

I suspect that this error has something to do with the two environments and the PATH content but I do not know enough to figure that out. I made a research in Stackoverflow and it seems that other people have had importing problems relating to different environments but as far as I understand there is not specific advice I can implement.

Your advice will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Try adding a cell in Jupyter directly identifying/appending the path...

import graphlab
graphlab.path.append(path)

...whatever the path may be.

Answer 2

Dunno if you still need it, but for future users, once a new environment is created, once must install the specific libraries and modules one wants accessible in that environment.
In this case, once the gl-env is activated, do a conda install wget again.
