I just discovered the Anaconda project and think it's AMAZING! I just ran into an issue installing googlefinance, however:

Unable to find with a search:

(env)me@vm$ conda search googlefinance
Fetching package metadata: ....

Found with pip:

pip install googlefinance

Can I get it from this hargup user? https://anaconda.org/hargup/googlefinance/files

I'm just really trying to not mix pip and conda in this environment.

Provide the channel to conda and it should work:

conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/hargup/channel/pypi googlefinance

Even if there would be be no conda package, mixing conda and pip installations is fine. conda "knows" about the pip-installed packages.

  • ahhh, i was not passing a uri, just the username. thank you! – tarabyte Dec 23 '15 at 07:22
  • that seems to install successfully but fails on usage with error: `ImportError: No module named 'googlefinance'`. other people online seem to suggest needs to be run as an administrator/elevated permission? `sudo`? – tarabyte Dec 23 '15 at 07:37
  • Do you you have multiple Python installations? – Mike Müller Dec 23 '15 at 07:44
  • i moved my shebang line in the top-level python file from using `#!/usr/bin/python3` to `#!/usr/bin/env python3` and things are working now... – tarabyte Dec 23 '15 at 07:48
