[Neuroimaging] Problem with PySurfer module in Python3

[Kadwani, Manorama]

Thanks for your help!
Anaconda was installed properly, but I realized I was installing packages in the system's Python using pip, not conda's pip. I activated conda to be my base environment in every shell session and used conda's pip and so PySurfer could be imported.

So this is the problem, you have some paths mixed between two Python installations: ipython comes from anaconda and python3 comes from the system /usr/local. You should only use one or the other, and make sure that python/ipython/pip all point to the same Python installation otherwise you will have problems like this.

If you want to use the system one, remove anaconda from your PATH / undo its setup steps, and use python3 / pip3 and make sure `ipython` points to something in the /usr/local/ directory.

If you want to use anaconda, ensure that it's properly set up (and use `python` and `pip` directly, not `python3` / `pip3`).
