Why I can not import utils in my Jupyter Notebook (Python 3.6) although it is installed?

Question

I have installed the package utils using conda but when I try to import it in my Jupyter Notebook I get an exception:

import utils
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-4-32411ba4e9a6> in <module>()
----> 1 import utils

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utils'

If I try installing again using pip this time I get the expected message:

(base) C:\Users\Alienware\Documents>pip install python-utils
Requirement already satisfied: python-utils in c:\programdata\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (2.3.0)
Requirement already satisfied: six in c:\programdata\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (from python-utils) (1.10.0)

Other modules are imported without any problem (eg featuretools).

Answer 1

You have installed python-utils but are importing utils . These are two different packages. If you want to use the utils package, install it with pip install utils . Otherwise, use import python_utils if you want to use that package.
