Python Anaconda package built and installed, but cannot be imported

I built a python3 package called gender_univ using the Anaconda conda build command. I uploaded the package to the Anaconda cloud and then installed it into my conda environment. Though the package shows up in the list of installed packages when I type conda list, whenever I try to access the package using import gender_univ I get the error no module named gender_univ.

I want to understand why I can't seem to import a package that is apparently installed in my conda virtual environment? Any suggestions.

First, I would check that you are using the correct python (i.e. which python and confirm that it is the python in your conda environment). Next, you can check if your package is in the site-packages directory of that same python.

The most likely thing, I'd bet, is that the conda package doesn't include everything correctly. Are you sure that you have a build.sh (or bld.bat if you are on windows) and a setup.py? Did you try expanding your built conda package and looking for your python classes in there?

If you expand your built conda package, probably something like gender_univ-VERSION-py35_0.tar.bz2, you should see a lib/python3.5/site-packages/gender_univ directory (i.e. python package). Do you? If not, then the failure is with your building.
