A module is working in Anaconda prompt, but not in Spyder
Solution 1
The problem is the use of different environments for your anaconda prompt and your instance of spyder, as mentioned by @Simon. This problem and the different available solutions are reviewed here: GitHub discussion
You can solve the problem as follows. Provided that you have the package spyder-kernels
already installed in your Anaconda prompt environment, run the following command in Anaconda prompt:
python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
and copy the path returned to your console. Then, in Spyder go to Tools>Preferences>Python interpreter. Here you will see two options under Select the Python interpreter for all Spyder consoles. Check the second option and paste the path you copied from the Anaconda prompt. Close Spyder and open it again and now the import module
command should work.
By doing this, Spyder will basically use the Python interpreter from the environment in which you have installed the new modules.

I have faced the same problem. I have installed the Spyder and Jupyter inside the conda environment. After that it's working fine for me.
source activate my_conda_env
conda install spyder
conda install jupyter notebook

I have been fighting with this problem for hours now, and it's a kind of complicated one. I'm on windows 7, Python 2.7, Spyder 3.2.6 I tried to install OSMNX through
cygwin
, however I faced many issues. Finally managed to install it through windows cmd. Through theanaconda prompt
, I could import theosmnx
with no error.
However, I'm trying to import it in spyder, but I keep receiving:
Traceback (most recent call last):File "<ipython-input-2-2b99ab66aebb>", line 1, in <module> import osmnx ImportError: No module named osmnx
What is exactly wrong here? and how can I solve it?

Alon Samuel over 5 yearsThanks, It helped for me, with adding spyder kernel module to python (since spyder maybe wants spyder kernel module, to work)

Van Peer about 5 yearsI had to choose the appropriate interpreter as explained in this answer. If you're having a venv inside a conda env, ensure that you choose the interpreter of the venv.
