ImportError: Entry point ('console_scripts', 'cython') not found

I have been having trouble compiling a program which needs Cython on my desktop with CentOS 7. I use Anaconda and particularly checked if Cython is installed:

[root@#### build]# conda install cython
Fetching package metadata .........
Solving package specifications: .   

# All requested packages already installed.
# packages in environment at /home/####/anaconda2:
#
cython                    0.25.2                   py27_0  
[root@#### build]# pip install cython
Requirement already satisfied: cython in /home/####/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages
[root@#### build]# which cython
/home/####/anaconda2/bin/cython
[root@#### build]# cython
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/####/anaconda2/bin/cython", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('Cython==0.25.2', 'console_scripts', 'cython')()
  File "/home/####/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 560, in load_entry_point
    return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
  File "/home/####/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2647, in load_entry_point
    raise ImportError("Entry point %r not found" % ((group, name),))
ImportError: Entry point ('console_scripts', 'cython') not found

The program has been successfully compiled on Ubuntu, so I suspect that Cython is not configured properly on my desktop. Could you recommend something to solve the issue? Thanks.
