global packages are used instead of local, despite an environment being active. #7230

Current Behavior

When running python scripts with an environment activated, it still uses packages from <anaconda install path>\Lib\site-packages\ instead of <anaconda install path>\envs\<env>\Lib\site-packages\

I created a new environment after reading ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues#1429 (comment) , something I came across when trying to solve this, making sure that pip was installed when the environment was created, and it worked fine for a while. Then, it suddenly began to behave like this instead of what I expected. Also, de- and reactivating my env did not solve it.

Steps to Reproduce

created my environment
conda create -n vacatures pip django=1.10.8 mezzanine
activated it(conda activate vacatures), went to work on my project, and when I tried running a script, it used modules from the global/base environment instead.

here's a snippet of my base env list

(base) C:\Users\sagar>conda list
# packages in environment at C:\Anaconda3:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
_ipyw_jlab_nb_ext_conf    0.1.0            py36he6757f0_0
...
django                    2.0.2            py36hd476221_0
Django                    2.0.4                     <pip>
django-addressbook        0.1.1                     <pip>
django-addresses          0.1                       <pip>
...

Here's a snippet of the vacatures environment

(base) C:\Users\sagar>conda activate vacatures
(vacatures) C:\Users\sagar>conda list
# packages in environment at C:\Anaconda3\envs\vacatures:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
...
django                    1.10.8                     py_0    conda-forge
django-contrib-comments   1.8.0                     <pip>
...

and here's a part of the error

(vacatures) C:\Users\sagar\Desktop\Dev\vizcode_projs\mezzjobs\board>manage.py runserver
...
    from mezzanine.utils.urls import home_slug
  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\mezzanine\utils\urls.py", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.urlresolvers import (resolve, reverse, NoReverseMatch,
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.core.urlresolvers'

but django 1.10.8 does have django.core.urlresolvers, unlike django 2.0.4, which is installed in the base env.

Expected Behavior

It should only use packages and modules from the activated environment

Should be resolved in conda 4.6 as part of #7194 through #7195.

kalefranz · 2018-05-04T23:15:11Z

If you want to try the latest prerelease conda version, use

conda install -n base conda-canary::conda

MassiveAtoms · 2018-05-05T01:15:05Z

Thank you, I will be switching to that. I've deleted and recreated envs 3 more times in the last week just because this issue kept popping up.

MassiveAtoms · 2018-05-05T02:02:05Z

Hmmmm, I have another problem that just started appearing after I upgraded to conda 4.6.0a2.
I'm unable to use pip install commands in some envs.
Should I create a new bug report?

(chemistry) C:\Users\sagar>pip install django-widget-tweaks
Unable to create process using 'C:\Anaconda3\envs\chemistry\python.exe C:\Anaconda3\envs\chemistry\Scripts\pip-script.py install django-widget-tweaks'

Requirement already satisfied: django-widget-tweaks in c:\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (1.4.2)
...(bunch of errors about missing orincompatible dependencies that pip installing in the base environment has caused despite some env being active)

kalefranz · 2018-05-05T03:24:09Z

Yeah if you can come up with a sequence of commands that reproduce the error, so that I can reproduce it myself, I’ll try to figure out what’s going on.

MassiveAtoms · 2018-05-05T03:56:04Z

Actually, I can't do that, exactly.
I'm in the process of doing a fresh anaconda install.
But the basic gist of it was,
using conda install -n base conda-canary::conda, creating a new env conda create -n somename pip django=2.0.5 pep8 flake8 prospector django-import-export, starting up vscode, activating the env, then trying to do additional installs with pip.

I suddenly couldn't activate any envs, so I've decided a fresh install is in order.
(yet another issue)
when I tried conda activate env it said something about supported shells, and if I was launching it from a script I should use SOMEWORD conda activate, and something about conda init. This happened both in vscode and in the normal cmd terminal.
I ran conda init, something went wrong, I sent 2 reports to the core developer team.
I'll try to recreate the problem with the fresh install.
I'm sorry I can't help more for now.

kalefranz · 2018-05-05T04:21:25Z

The error you uploaded the report for was #7256.

MassiveAtoms · 2018-05-05T05:14:29Z

Ok, I did a fresh install, moved my old envs back,
upgraded conda

I guess it might be kinda my fault? Should I do a new fresh install and not select to add anaconda to path? It did mention it might cause problems.

Also,

details, as they have changed somewhat.

PS, I will be creating a new environment, and if i still can't pip install, I'll be doing a fresh install again, I do kinda need to use some packages right now that I can't get with conda

kalefranz · 2018-05-05T05:26:28Z

After you update to conda 4.6.0a2, close your Anaconda Prompt shell, and then reopen it again. Does conda activate work as expected after that?

MassiveAtoms · 2018-05-05T05:44:08Z

Still having pip problems, so I guess I'll do that fresh install.
Anything specific you want me to do and or collect, besides closing the shell and reopening after upgrading?

kalefranz · 2018-05-05T15:07:42Z

I’m guessing you’re choosing the “system install” / “install for all users” vs just the “for me only” install, right? If you’ve been doing the first, and you run into problems again, try a fresh install but this time do the “for me only” type. (I don’t remember off the top of my head what the exact names are for the options.)

kalefranz · 2018-05-05T15:10:34Z

Really appreciate your patience and willingness to go back-and-forth here too. You’re actually the first person I’m interacting with who is using a 4.6 alpha on Windows. I do think it’s for the most part pretty solid. But especially on Windows there could be a few hiccups for conditions outside of what I’ve tested so far.

MassiveAtoms · 2018-05-05T22:42:11Z

I'm not sure what the option I selected when installing it for the first time, it probably was installed for all users. The other times I installed it today I selected to only install it for the current user.

And it's nothing, you and your team create this wonderful tool I use pretty much every day, and I like to think I'm contributing somewhat by trying to help with finding bugs 😄 I actually do want to contribute more, but I don't think I'm good enough at anything to help with actual development.

Ok, this time, I did some things different.
I after uninstalling and restarting, I uninstalled python at C:\Program Files (x86)\ (does conda install another one there? Because I can't actually remember using a standalone python installer on this OS, and when I do install it , it's usually at C;/python or some user directory, to prevent problems with UAC and the space in the path) and removed system and user variables of conda and python(which did not go away automatically after uninstalling). I then Installed anaconda.

This seems to have fixed the pip problem 😄

The problem of the shell command configuration is still there

C:\Users\sagar>conda activate testenv3

CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
If using 'conda activate' from a batch script, change your
invocation to 'CALL conda.bat activate'.

To initialize your shell, run

    $ conda init <SHELL_NAME>

Currently supported shells are:
  - bash
  - cmd.exe
  - fish
  - tcsh
  - xonsh
  - zsh

See 'conda init --help' for more information and options.

IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.

Should I try running conda init cmd.exe from an elevated command line prompt?

MassiveAtoms · 2018-05-07T03:07:39Z

AHA!
I spoke prematurely about the pip problem, I have encountered it again and found out the root cause. It is completely unrelated to conda.

Of the envs that have given me problems, the python.exe was missing from the folder

Then I made a list of everything I installed in the last month and which could delete files without me noticing.
Found the culprit.

I will be removing avast, do a fresh install of conda and see if that maybe also fixes the conda init problem.
I feel so conflicted now.
Awesome because I found the problem, and super stupid that I never thought to check that.

The AssertionError is still there when doing conda init cmd.exe, both on normal shell and an elevated one.
