How to use conda installed packages in web2py

[Davidiam]

Hi,


We have an application that requires the pandas package.  We thought we could just install pandas in the conda environment used for running web2py, but when we do "import pandas" in web2py we get an error message that it can't find pandas and it seems to be looking for pandas in the modules folder of the application.


There are a few similar questions that I found on Google but none of them had a clear answer.  Is it possible to import conda installed libraries in web2py applications without having to copy them (and all dependances) to within the web2py framework ?
If so, how can we do this ?




Here is the error we are getting :
