No module named 'pydot' Python

I am using anaconda. I have used a code to display graph (just copied the code) and am trying to make it run on my machine. I have installed the pydot class using:

pip install pydot

but I get the following error

  File "C:/Users/ASMGX/Desktop/Python/untitled0.py", line 33, in <module>
    import pydot

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pydot'

So I tried re-installing using conda 

conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/sstromberg pydot

Still I get the same error? What is that I am doing wrong?

Solution

  • If you are using Anaconda you can just install the pydot package trough the Anaconda navigator.

    If you then also run your IDE / notebook from Anaconda from the same environment you are sure you are using the same environment to run the script as for which you installed pydot.

    I expect Python still can't find the package because it is installed in a environment different from the one you are running the script in.
