Python - Can't import Seaborn

Question

I'm running iPhyton Notebooks and I'm trying to import the Seaborn package. When I try to import it from the Terminal, it loads up fine, but when I import it through iPython Notebooks, it give me the following error. I have even tried to re-install Seaborn using both Conda and Pip inside iPython notebooks and still it wont work. Any idea why?

Thanks.

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: No module named seaborn

Answer 1

Try this

import sys
print sys.path
sys.path.append('<path to package in your syste>')

import seaborn

In my Ubuntu 14.4LTS the packages get installed in the following folder

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

So I simply add the package path at run time
