modulenotfounderror no module named 'modin'

Question

I have created a virtual environment with following syntax in the windows terminal:

conda create --prefix ./modinenv python=3.6 numpy
conda activate e:\modin\modinenv
pip install modin[dask]
jupyter notebook

In a new python file, when i executed this following command:

import modin.pandas as pd

it gives me an error: modulenotfounderror no module named 'modin'

I searched many forum, but got no workable response to this.

I even tried following before import statement:

import os
os.environ["MODIN_ENGINE"] = "dask" # Modin will use Dask
import modin.pandas as pd

This also does not work here. So any help in this regard is appreciated.

Thanks Gopinath

Answer 1

I have exactly the same environment setting as you.

import os
import modin.pandas as pd
os.environ["MODIN_ENGINE"] = "dask"

Try following:

1. It seems that your Modin may not install properly, so please try pip install -U modin according to Modin documentation
2. pip3 install 'modin[dask]'
