I encountered this issue in my conda environment  The reason is that packages have been installed into two different folders  only one of which is recognised by the Python executable    anaconda2 envs  my env  site-packages   anaconda2 envs  my env  lib python2 7 site-packages A proved solution is to add both folders to python path  using the following steps in command line  Please replace  my env  with your own environment    conda activate  my env   conda-develop   anaconda2 envs  my env  site-packages conda-develop   anaconda2 envs  my env  lib python2 7 site-packages  conda-develop is to add a  pth file to the folder so that the Python executable knows of this folder when searching for packages    To ensure this works  try to activate Python in this environment  and import the package that was not found
