Importing traci gives "package not found" error

Question

I am running a simulation code written in python and simulator is sumo. I am using anaconda in ubuntu 20.04. To run a program I need to import traci and I am trying to install but it shows that package not found.

I have created new environment and tried "conda install -c conda-forge traci". But it shows error like this: Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

While there is no conda package of traci, you can still use pip install traci even in an anaconda environment. Please beware of the caveats mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45361152/5731587
