New to anaconda and spyder. using different sys.executables

For some reason when I install a package through Anaconda, it is not available in Spyder. When I execute the following command in anaconda and in spyder I get different files.

Anaconda:

import sys; sys.executable
'C:\\Users\\onp1ldy\\AppData\\Local\\conda\\conda\\envs\\deeplearning\\python.exe'

Spyder:

import sys; sys.executable
'C:\\Users\\onp1ldy\\AppData\\Local\\conda\\conda\\envs\\deeplearning\\pythonw.exe'

Can anyone help me with this? I am not sure what to do...

By Default: You can control which one of the executables will run your script. Such as, when opened from Explorer by choosing the right file_name like:

1. python.exe is a terminal-based (console) application to run and lunch CLI-Type Python-scripts.

*.py files are by default associated (invoked) with python.exe

2. pythonw.exe is a GUI-based app for lunching Graphical User interface-(No_UI_at_all_Scripts)

*.pyw files are by default associated (invoked) with pythonw.exe

TO SUMMARIZE AND COMPLEMENT MY OPINION:

First of all, Python-Binary that you're trying to run doesn't have Package installed. It does have a directory path named as package_name like torch at the search path of modules, and it is being treated as a Package namespace like for me:

torch.Tensor(5, 3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'torch' has no attribute 'Tensor'

For your current python binary, you need to install your package correctly. Visit Reference: Home-Page

python3.7 -m pip install http://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu80/torch-0.2.0.post3-cp35-cp35m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl 
python3.7 -m pip install torchvision

More importantly, replace the pip or pip3 as the Home-Page instructions use with python3.7 -m pip;. In the end, don't forget to include python3.7 to be the full path to your Python binary.

based on your description the problem may be connected to the Python interpreter that you are using in Spyder. There is a similar issue on Stack Overflow at this url:

Issue on Anaconda and Spyder

You can try the solution proposed by Bremsstrahlung.

Hope this can help you.

Run this in spyder and see if you can access the package.

import subprocess

subprocess.call('pip install numpy', shell=True)

import numpy
