[AstroPy] astroquery broken after update?

[Alexa Villaume]

Hi Peter,

I had the same problem where astroquery wasn’t importing on the anaconda based python package. I installed astroquery from the github repo and so my anaconda installation didn’t “know” about astroquery. To fix this, I made a symlink to astroquery in my anaconda directory. In your anaconda directory you can try,

ln -s <path to astroquery> astroquery.
