Failed to import module from Python laptop into Jupyter

Question

I have an environment in which I started using Anaconda and I successfully installed the module in it. I know this because I can run python and then import tensorflow . This also works when through ipython . The problem is that I can not load the module from the laptop, which started using either ipython notebook or jupyter (although I am running either from the active environment).

I suspect it relates to configuring ipython , but I don't know how to debug and solve the problem. Any idea?

Edit: Here are the steps I took:

• conda create --name tensorflowproblem python=2.7 to create an environment
• source activate tensorflowproblem
• conda install --name tensorflowproblem jupyter to install jupyter
• pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl to install tensorflow

Location pip and jupyter :

 $ which -a pip /Users/dror/anaconda/envs/tensorflowproblem/bin/pip $ which -a jupyter /Users/dror/anaconda/envs/tensorflowproblem/bin/jupyter 

Note that there is a directory ~/anaconda/envs/tensorflowproblem/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow .

In addition, neither python -c "import tensorflow" nor ipython -c "import tensorflow" any errors.

Answer 1

Try the following:

 source activate tensorflowproblem conda install notebook ipykernel ipython kernel install --user 

It looks like your tensor env problem does not have an ipython kernel, but there is another (possibly your root) env. When you start Jupyter, it puts you in env with the kernel, but without the tensorflow package. If you have not yet run the above lines, you can test this theory by opening a laptop and working:

 import sys sys.path 

If the first few paths do not display "envs / tensorflowproblem" as part of them, this explains the problem.

Answer 2

For jupyter laptop, the following python package is useful for managing the python / anaconda kernel environment to run the laptop using:

 pip install environment_kernels 

Run this installation either in the default environment or in a specific one. After running jupyter notebook you should see the options for your anaconda environment in two places:

• options to launch a new laptop
• in the kernel > change kernel drop-down list for an existing laptop.

For more information, I found this post helpful!

Answer 3

Most likely, your laptop did not load the correct kernel (environment). The environment name is displayed in the upper right corner. See the red circle in the image below. If this is not the case, click "Kernel → Change Kernel" and select the appropriate kernel.

Answer 4

From my experience with the xlrd module running in the console and not in Jupyter, you can try going to your system Python folder /usr/local/bin/ and then looking for the python version. Then use the pipXX file to install the required module.
