rdkit installed but not imorted

[Sigurd]

Output when I try to run my program:

import rdkit
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rdkit'

Process finished with exit code 1

[buran]

did you install it?

[Sigurd]

I have Windows 10 and used conda to install rdkit

In my file structure I can now find:
...\anaconda3\envs\my-rdkit-env\Lib\site-packages\rdkit...

[buran]

I am not using anaconda, but from what you show it looks like it's installed in virtual environment my-rdkit-env. Is it activated when you run the code and get error?

[Sigurd]

I'm new to Python3, anaconda3, conda, PyCharm, ...
so I don't understand exaktly what I'm doing ..
I followed instructions from the internet and was hoping for the best
I worked with this yesterday and did "activate" as I was prompted to
but don't know how to verify if I was successfull

[buran]

did you activate it also now? you need to activate when you want to use it.
I would suggest to check https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/...ments.html

[Sigurd]

In an Anaconda Prompt (anaconda3):
(base) C:\Users\Lars>conda activate my-rdkit-env

(my-rdkit-env) C:\Users\Lars>

Was this the right thing to do?
Can I see if it is activated?

Same result as before when running program...

[buran]

(my-rdkit-env) means it's activated. I would expect it to work now. I don't know why you get same error

[Sigurd]

I can not import rdkit but I can import os:

(my-rdkit-env) C:\Users\Lars>py
Python 3.8.3 (default, Jul 2 2020, 17:30:36) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rdkit
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rdkit'

>>> import os
>>> os.getcwd()
'C:\\Users\\Lars'
>>>

[buran]

os is module from the Standard Library, i.e. no need to install it, it comes with python
maybe someone else will have better idea what may be wrong
