This question has been asked a few times, but the remedy appears to complicated enough that I'm still searching for a user specific solution. I recently re-installed anaconda; now, after entering "pip install splinter" in the Terminal on my Mac I get the response: "Requirement already satisfied: splinter in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages Requirement already satisfied: selenium>=2.53.6 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from splinter)"
But, I get the following error in python (Anaconda) after entering import splinter Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in import splinter ImportError: No module named splinter"
When I enter which python in the terminal, this is the output: "/usr/local/bin/python"
I am editing the question here to add the solution: ~/anaconda2/bin/pip install splinter

1) Try uninstalling and the re install it:
pip uninstall splinter 2) Also manually delete splinter from "site-packages".
3)Also try this if problem still persists:
$ easy_install -m PACKAGE_name those are two different pythons. you are using the pip from your default python, but trying to import the package from anaconda.
use
$ dirname `which python` to see where the anaconda's python executable is, then see that folder for pip. now use this pip to install the package
I had the same issue, I uninstalled and reinstalled splinter many times but that didn't work. Then I typed source activate (name of my conda environment) and then did pip install splinter. It worked for me.
