I have installed Anaconda from its site and was working fine for sometime, however I needed to install Plotly and used the below steps mentioned in another site. I just got it up and running on spyder 3.0 using the following steps. (windows 10)
Download plotly using pip usig command line (python -m pip install plotly) this requires downloading python 3.5 separately from Spyder as well. (so far I haven’t had any conflicts) In Spyder, goto->Tools ->PYTHONPATH Manager -> addPath -> insert path to Plotly library (mine was in python\python36-32\Lib\site-packages), then synchronize Restart Spyder test it out with import plotly.plotly \n import plotly.graph_objs as go in a new .py scrypt Hope it works out for you. Cheers
After the above steps I was able to import plotly in Spyder and didn't face any issues, however after I restarted my machine I'm unable to run Anaconda navigator or Spyder. I'm able to launch Anaconda prompt but any command executed returns different kinds of errors like
"conda install anaconda-navigator"
environment variables: conda info could not be constructed. KeyError('pkgs_dirs')
"spyder"
ImportError: cannot import name 'constants' from partially initialized module 'zmq.backend.cython' (most likely due to a circular import) (C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\zmq\backend\cython_init_.py)
anaconda-navigator
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing shell: The specified module could not be found.
I tried every solution on internet like uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting all the trace files on anaconda and even the Environment variables seem to be fine
echo %PATH% command returns
C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3;C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\mingw-w64\bin;C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\usr\bin;C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\bin;C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts;C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\bin;C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\condabin;C:\Python\Scripts;C:\Python;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\windows\System32\OpenSSH;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA NvDLISR;C:\Program Files\nodejs;C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin;C:\Users\saish\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_301\bin;C:\apache-zookeeper-3.7.0\bin;C:\Spark\spark-3.0.2-bin-hadoop2.7\bin;C:\hadoop\bin;C:\Users\saish\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Users\saish\AppData\Roaming\np
where python command returns
C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\python.exe
C:\Users\saish\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe
Please suggest any new measures other than the ones I have mentioned. Thanks in advance
Per this github issue, you may have a conflict between dependencies of packages anaconda installed and the one you installed manually. Check your pythonpath and see if removing the pip folder from the pythonpath fixes the issue.
