EDIT: Thanks to michcio1234, the problem is solved in the answer below.
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
I created a python package (called precom), installed via pip install . into a defined conda environment (also called precom) and tried to load the package.
When loading the installed package in ipython, it is not found.
However, when I do conda list, the package is listed (see output below).
This is really strange!
I googled, checked stack overflow, re-coded, re-installed but it never worked. Does anyone have an idea what I am missing?

You don't have ipython installed in your environment, so what you are running is not actually in your precom venv.
Try pip install ipython or conda install ipython, or just run python and then try to import your package.
