解决window7 x64位Anaconda启动报错：AttributeError: '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort'

最近论文需要用到python做数据分析，python语法简单，但是Windows下安装第三方包恶心的要命，statsmodels用pip死活安装不上，网上查了说包相互依赖windows下的pip不能下载全，还有好几个其他的统计包也是如此，整晕了算。

看网上有些python大牛推荐Anaconda，可以解决包的问题，于是卸载本地的python，从官网上下了个Anconda玩玩，结果遇到新问题。

问题如下：

An unexpected error has occurred.

找到你的Anaconda安装目录中的path.py，详细路径为：D:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\conda\_vendor\auxlib\path.py

把文件path.py中，“except ImportError: ”修改为“except Exception:“
