For some reason Jupyter won't recognise the Anaconda installation
import os
result = os.popen('conda list anaconda$').read()
print('\nAnaconda Version:\n', result)
Result:
Anaconda Version: packages in environment at C:\Users\Andy\anaconda3:
Name Version Build Channel
I've updated the Windows Path variables as follows
C:\Users\Andy\anaconda3; C:\Users\Andy\anaconda3\Scripts
The conda.exe application is in the Scripts directory
Thanks in advance for any help
Edit...
The top 10(ish) rows from running
conda list
are
# packages in environment at C:\Users\Andy\anaconda3:
Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

Using Jupyter, run in a cell in your notebook the following:
%%capture out
%conda list anaconda$
(That sends the result of the %conda list to out, which is of the type IPython.utils.capture.CapturedIO. You can read about accessing the various attributes of that here in the IPython.utils.capture.CapturedIO documentation. I cover here how I handle it and parse out the version information I think you want next.)
Then in the next cell, you can parse collected the information:
out.stdout.split("Channel")[1].split("anaconda",1)[1].split()[0]
Based on what you posted in a comment above, you should see:
2023.07
I actually see 2022.05 when I run it.
Your original posted attempt os.popen('conda list anaconda$').read() is sending your command to a temporary system shell via os, and so that may not be in the exact environment where you notebook kernel is running. %conda list uses the magic command to insure things run in the same environment where your kernel backing Jupyter runs.
