Anaconda conda install error when installing tradingwithpython package

Question

After installing anaconda on my windows 7 machine I tried to install tradingwithpython package using the following methods.

pip install tradingwithpython

This was successfull but when I tried import from ipython I got the following error:

#==================================================

----> 1 import tradingwithpytohn

ImportError: No module named tradingwithpytohn

So after this I tried to create a recipe

C:\Users\dave\Anaconda>conda skeleton pypi tradingwithpython --no-download
tradingwithpython not found, trying Tradingwithpython
Using url https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/t/tradingWithPython/tradingWithPython-0.0.10.zip (20684) for tradingWithPython.
Using "BSD" for the license
Writing recipe for tradingwithpython
Done

then build this package and it gave me this error:

Any idea why this is not working?

Thanks.

Answer 1

ImportError: No module named scipy

It could be that your Anaconda install is not complete. Scipy is a standard module and should be importable after Anaconda install.

Your problem seems to be a rare one, I've not heard of issues instaling twp under Win 7 and Anaconda.

I suggest that you reinstall your anaconda and try again.

Answer 2

write this command in notebook, not in terminal

!pip install tradingWithPython

then it will choice required anaconda environment automatically
