PostgreSQL meta commands not working. Getting `pgspecial not installed' even though it is installed

[mayankkaizen]

I have set up an environment in Anaconda and everything (SQLAlchemy, ipython-sql, pgspecial etc) is installed in this environment except for PostgreSQL. I am able to do everything SQL related in Jupyter Notebook except for running meta-commands like \d.

When I run this -

%sql \d

This raises ImportError: pgspecial not installed. However, running import pgspecial or from pgspecial.main import PGSpecial commands immediately after this raises no issue.

I have even tried installing pgspecial at global level, but I am still getting same error.

How to resolve this issue?

Restart the kernel, worked for me.
