installed conda package fails to import

Im using anaconda to install packages and manage my environments on macOS Mojave 10.14.2.

I installed a new package wget at the terminal 

conda install wget

When I run conda list the package shows up and I get no errors.

However, when I run 

import wget

In spyder or jupyter notebook I get and error:

File "<ipython-input-28-1d5f1c9c9a6b>", line 7, in <module> import 
wget ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'wget'

The package also shows up in my base(root) environment, so I have no idea why spyder or jupyter notebook can't find the package.

Your command conda install wget installs wget for use at the conda prompt. To install wget for import in Python, you need to install a different package:

conda install -c anaconda pywget

In Python it's still:

import wget
