I've tried 

py_install("recordlinkage")

It returns this error :

py_install("recordlinkage") Collecting package metadata: ...working... done Solving environment: ...working... failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  • recordlinkage

Current channels:

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're looking for, navigate to

https://anaconda.org

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

So I went to https://anaconda.org and searched recordlinkage and it returned r-recordlinkage

Then I did py_install("r-recordlinkage"), it installed it beautifully. When I do 

import r-recordlinkage

in the .py script it says

SyntaxError: invalid syntax (, line 1)

what am I missing here? :/

  • According to Anaconda, [r-recordlinkage](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/r-recordlinkage) is an R package not Python module. But a different module by different authors is available in [Python](https://recordlinkage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about.html). Simply remove `r-` in name as hyphens are never used in Python and R names (Anaconda likely uses this to differentiate the version and only for their install caller). – Parfait Mar 20 '19 at 13:59
  • removing the hiphen import recordlinkage gives ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'recordlinkage' – Yeshyyy Mar 20 '19 at 14:02
  • Did you install it before importing: `py_install("recordlinkage")` or `pip install recordlinkage`? – Parfait Mar 20 '19 at 14:10
  • py_install("recordlinkage") is giving the error that i described in the question. and pip install recordlinkage says Requirement already satisfied on multiple lines – Yeshyyy Mar 20 '19 at 14:23
  • and conda install recordlinkage gives the same error as py_install("recordlinkage") – Yeshyyy Mar 20 '19 at 14:24
  • Sorry I misread first attempt. Likely, the Python version of `recordlinkage` is not available among the [Anaconda packages](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/repo). – Parfait Mar 20 '19 at 14:33

Just write: "pip install recordlinkage" For me, it works!.
