Anaconda: Despite of installing can’t import ibm_db

I am able to install ibm_dbpackage in order to access DB2 from Jupyter notebook:

!pip install ibm_db
Requirement already satisfied: ibm_db in /anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages (2.0.9)

but while trying to import there’s an error:

import ibm_db

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-2-fe3bb08c8a05> in <module>()
----> 1 import ibm_db

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ibm_db'

Restarted the Kernel couple of times but it also had no impact. Anything that I am missing here?

Update:

Was able to resolve the issue by executing the below in Jupyter:

!pip uninstall ibm_db

and then

!conda install ibm_db -c anacharsis

Answer

Try installing it using conda instead of pip. You will probably have to first uninstall the version you added with pip:

pip uninstall ibm_db

Then install it with conda

conda install ibm_db -c anacharsis
