Answer 1

Tried all installation sequence as described in all solutions/posting/blogs, finally realized anaconda was not able to read the Environment variables. Closed Anaconda and Spyder. Then opened Anaconda in Administrator mode (on Windows 64 bit OS machine) and then opened Spyder. Script worked fine with PYDOT calls.
