Trying to install pytesseract on a Python 3.7 conda environment

Question

I'm trying to get pytesseract installed on my Python 3.7 conda environment. After running conda install -c phygbu pytesseract , I get the package installed for Python 2.7, as shown by the output of conda list :

...
pytesseract               0.2.4                    py27_0    phygbu
...

Running pip3 install pytesseract does not help either. How can I force conda or pip3 to install it for Python 3.7?

Answer 1

I have no idea what caused it, but I ended up setting a new environment altogether and reinstalling everything; this time it worked properly.
