What To Do When Conda Can't Find A Python Package?

I'm pretty new to Python and a Jupyter Notebook Novice. I'm trying to follow along with an excellent tutorial about LA Maps. The author even included the Jupyter Notebook on Github

Solution 1:

re is part of the Python standard packages, so no need to install it as it comes with almost every Python distribution.

However, to answer your question, you can search for the package on the Anaconda repository at https://anaconda.org. If it is in a non-default channel (the Anaconda channel is the default), you can install it by adding the channel as an argument.

The jellyfish package is a good example. It is posted on several other channels, but not the main one. To install it from the conda-forge channel, use:

conda install jellyfish -c conda-forge

If the package is not available as a conda package, you might be able to find it as a PIP installable package on https://pypi.org/. The pypac package is an example of this. To install it from PyPi use:

pip install pypac
