I am using anaconda on windows 10 with the lastest version of conda 4.5.12. I am creating a very simple test env to try to install lxml with python 3.6.6.
Here my environment.yml file:
channels:
- defaults
dependencies:
- python=3.6.6
- lxml
Then I create an env using conda:
conda env create -f environment_test.yml -n test26
Here the list of packages after the installation:
(test26) C:>conda list
# packages in environment at C:\Program Files\Anaconda3\envs\test26:
#
# Name Version Build Channel
certifi 2018.11.29 py36_0 defaults
libiconv 1.15 h1df5818_7 defaults
libxml2 2.9.8 hadb2253_1 defaults
libxslt 1.1.32 hf6f1972_0 defaults
lxml 4.2.5 py36hef2cd61_0 defaults
pip 18.1 py36_0 defaults
python 3.6.6 hea74fb7_0 defaults
setuptools 40.6.3 py36_0 defaults
vc 14.1 h0510ff6_4 defaults
vs2015_runtime 14.15.26706 h3a45250_0 defaults
wheel 0.32.3 py36_0 defaults
wincertstore 0.2 py36h7fe50ca_0 defaults
zlib 1.2.11 h62dcd97_3 defaults
So far so good. The issue is when I tried to import the package lxml
(test26) C:>python

With verbose info (another test with env: "test29"):

How can I debug this issue ? Do I missed dependency ?
On MacOS, I don't see the issue so it seems specific to Windows. Is there an older version working on Windows (I tried 4.1.1 and 4.2.1)
The env is created/activated using the Anaconda prompt with Windows 10 and the env is activated with:
conda activate env test29
One of the thing we discover is that some applications are creating some lib under C:\Windows\System32\ and this is a very bad practice. At the end I did the following:
Everything is working well with this env and so far I got now issue with my Windows applicarions. Thanks to Ray from the Anaconda team for the help.
