How to solve: ImportError: "No module named 'graphlab'?
With "source activate graphlab" in the terminal I can start up graphlab.
I've created it like this: "conda create -n graphlab python=2.7 anaconda", because using virtualenv with Anaconda is untested and not recommended (according to the warning in the terminal, I don't know whether this really is the case.).
After starting up graphlab the terminal shows:
discarding /Users/username/anaconda/bin from PATH
prepending /Users/username/anaconda/envs/graphlab/bin to PATH
But when I want to import graphlab in the Spider IDE it shows the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/username/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site packages/spyderlib/widgets/externalshell/sitecustomize.py", line 580, in runfile
execfile(filename, namespace)
File "/Users/username/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site-packages/spyderlib/widgets/externalshell/sitecustomize.py", line 48, in execfile
exec(compile(open(filename, 'rb').read(), filename, 'exec'), namespace)
File "/Users/username/Documents/projectname/pythonfile.py", line 3, in <module>
import graphlab as gl
ImportError: No module named 'graphlab'
How can I solve this? I am totally new to installing these things, so hopefully someone can help me with an extensive step by step explanation.
Answer
The Dato Graphlab Create installer did not actually install graphlab on my Mac (El Capitan). I did the following (Anaconda is installed) in a terminal window:
% pip install graphlab-create
That subsequently installed Graphlab Create. You can then easily verify:
% python
Python 2.7.10 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Sep 15 2015, 14:29:08)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Anaconda is brought to you by Continuum Analytics.

>>> import graphlab

I've noticed that occasionally, Python will forget that Graphlab Create is installed. A repeat of the above 'pip' command will cause it to remember.
