ImportError after specifying set python_exec in Python integration

[Sifat Raquib]

Hello

If I set a certain environment's executable for python, initialize it and import a package installed within that environment, I get no error.

However, now if I run a do-file that tries to run a certain python script, with the same executable and user path defined, I am getting ImportError.

To illustrate:

The following code block runs with no issue.

# set python executable and user path in stata.
set python_exec /path/to/exec
set python_userpath /path/to/package_dir

# initialize python
python

# import pandas
import pandas

The following does not:

# set python executable and user path in stata.
set python_exec /path/to/exec
set python_userpath /path/to/package_dir

do "/path/to/do/file"

I get

ImportError: No module named pandas

The do file has

!python script.py

script.py only has one line - import pandas as pd
