I'm new to python and Anaconda and I tried to run my code which contains Levenshtein import, however, it shows me this error:



ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-896847aaaa86> in <module>()
1 import pandas as pd
2 import numpy as np
----> 3 import Levenshtein as lv
4 import math
5 import re

ImportError: No module named 'Levenshtein'


Any recommendations regarding this, I owe you tons of thanks

  • Where is the Levenshtein package installed? Is this directory part of the sys.path variable?

The error happens because Anaconda does not ship with the Levenshtein package. You'll have to install it.



Usually, you want to install python packages on Jupyter Notebook by using the conda command. I was having trouble installing this package in particular on a Windows, however, simply because Windows Defender held out the process indefinitely.



The way I managed to install it as by using pip in Windows's cmd. First you have to figure out were the python executable from your Notebook is running.



In your notebook:



import sys
sys.executable


Copy the path the cell outputs, open the cmd. There, use the following command:



[PASTE THE PATH HERE] -m pip install python-levenshtein


After that you should be able to import Levenshtein.
