linux anaconda 环境不安装模块

Question

I have an anaconda virtual environment set up on a linux box.

The dotenv module wasn't installed, so I tried to install it. It installed successfully:

(virt_env_01) [jm@etl01 testing]$ conda install -c conda-forge python-dotenv    
## Package Plan ##
  environment location: /home/jm/anaconda3/envs/virt_env_01
  added / updated specs:
    - python-dotenv

However, when I tried to run the python script using it, I got an error saying no module found.

(virt_env_01) [jm@etl01 testing]$ pytest sql_server_tests.py

Traceback:

    import dotenv
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv'

Can someone explain what I've done wrong?

EDIT:

I am running Pytest above. So I tried Python and it works fine. Could pytest be installed outside the virtual environment or something? I don't know how that all works.

Answer 1

conda install -c conda-forge python-dotenv installs the dotenv

another available installation with help of anaconda package manager is conda install -c travis dotenv , but it is not compatible with python 3

Answer 2

The pytest module was out of date.

After I ran conda install pytest it worked fine.
