Cannot use a python package installed using conda although the package exists (I specifically want a certain version)

Question

I have trouble (ImportError: No module named folium) importing folium 0.2.0 development version (I want this version). I installed the package via conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/ioos folium as this conda page mentions (https://anaconda.org/IOOS/folium). I indeed have the package on my mac (OSX El Captain) when I conda list (folium 0.2.0 py27_3 ioos). Why am I not able to use this package in Ipython (error on import folium)? Could someone help?

Some more info:

which python

us/anaconda/bin/python

which conda

/anaconda/bin/conda

from my short investigation, `anaconda` seems to be set up to use it's own prefix instead of installing packages to the standard location like `pip` does. — Tadhg McDonald-Jensen, Feb 07 '16 at 21:12
does this help you at all? http://conda.pydata.org/docs/py2or3.html — Tadhg McDonald-Jensen, Feb 07 '16 at 21:12
Do you think you have to login first? I saw this message at https://conda.anaconda.org/ioos. If you want to download secure private packages you must login first with: `anaconda login` — otterb, Feb 08 '16 at 14:37

try with pip:

pip install folium

but with pip you will get only folium 0.1.6
