Conda Update On Windows 7 Failing With Import Error Of Yaml

On Win7 64 bit, with Anaconda 1.7, when I go to the command prompt and try: conda update conda I get the following error. Error: could not import yaml (required to read meta.yam

Solution 1:

The only way I found to fix this was to search for yaml and manually add it to the PYTHONPATH environment variable, e.g.

PYTHONPATH=C:\Anaconda\pkgs\pyyaml-3.10-py27_1\Lib\site-packages
