Cannot import scikit-learn

Question

Beginner here, please be gentle! I’m receiving an error that reads

ImportError: No module named sklearn when using pycharm.

I’m trying to import matplotlib, numpy, and sklearn. I’ve downloaded scikit_learn. I’ve also downloaded anaconda.

I have “two” pythons. Looks like this…

MacHD/Library/Frameworks/python.framework/versions/3.4/site-packages/sklearn
MacHD/Library/Python/2.7/ ... in here is pip and scikit_learn

The strange thing is that matplotlib and numpy work but not sklearn. How can I figure out what's wrong?

Where are `matplotlib` and `numpy`? You can find out like this: `import numpy` then `print numpy.__file__`. — askewchan, Sep 13 '15 at 01:58
numpy… /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/numpy/__init__.pyc matplotlib… /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/matplotlib/__init__.pyc — BabbaBooey, Sep 13 '15 at 02:12
Type ```which python``` to see which python is being used. Also anaconda should be its own python.... — J-S, Sep 13 '15 at 03:41
It's using anaconda. I get this... //anaconda/bin/python @J-S — BabbaBooey, Sep 14 '15 at 02:02
`which python` only works in terminal btw, not in pycharm. I dont know if that helps. @J-S — BabbaBooey, Sep 14 '15 at 02:07

The MacHD/Library/Frameworks/python.framework/versions/3.4/site-packages/sklearn is for Python 3.4 (note the 3.4 in the path) and the MacHD/Library/Python/2.7/ is for Python 2.7. The packages for each are independent of each other.

The problem looks like it's between `pycharm` and `anaconda`. The project interpreter in `pycharm` is set to 2.7.10 (/anaconda/bin/python.app), which should be the right one. Import error: No module named sklearn still comes up. The answer on this link is the closest to solving my problem so far (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18931049/getting-pycharm-to-recognize-anacondas-scipy). I've followed all the instructions except their is no prompt for "prompt you to install setup_tools and pip for that interpreter" – BabbaBooey Sep 15 '15 at 19:44
