Why Conda cannot call correct Python version after activating the environment?

Question

I have the following conda environment under Linux:

$ conda info -e
# conda environments:
#
py33                     /u21/coyotito/.anaconda/envs/py33
root           


        

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem. Not sure what I did to get into that mess, but I solved it with a simple:

conda deactivate
conda activate foo_env
