Python Bokeh dependencies not found

Question

This question has been asked but not answered. The only difference is I am on a Arch Linux 64 bit. I am using python 2.7 and the package that got installed of bokeh is 0.10.0

I followed the

conda install bokeh

instructions from here and did the conda update conda and conda update anaconda Still it does not work. Not only is bokeh.plotting not working, but neither is bokeh.sampledata which leads me to believe none of it is working.

Has any one else had this problem with this or any package and successfully solved it?

I do not know if this helps, but there are three versions of bokeh in my pkgs folder. Two of them are bokeh 0.9.0 and one of them is bokeh 0.10.0 which is the one that comes up when I call conda. In the site-packages/bokeh folder there is a plotting.py.

I tried to install it in python 3.4 and this is what the terminal returned

Answer 1

You have a file /home/bob/anaconda/bokeh.py in your current directory, which is being imported instead of bokeh.

You might look at what that file is, if it is really needed. If it's a file you made, it's not recommended to put things in the anaconda directory (some subdirectory of your Documents directory is a better place). It's also not really a good idea to have anaconda be your current directory.
