After some troubleshooting realized, through ps -eaf | grep python

user     5316  5180 47 14:45 pts/3    00:00:04 /usr/bin/python -c import sys; from Pymacs import main; main(*sys.argv[1:]) -f

Therein lies the problem, Anaconda sort of takes over as the default interpreter on your computer, but Pymacs is still trying to use the global Python under /usr/bin. Therefore anything installled through conda install are not visible to Pymacs.

The solution is editing PYMACS/pymacs.el file, go to line 623, and change pymacs-python-command to "[YOUR HOME DIR]/anaconda/bin/python"
