I have been trying to call a specific python module ( https://github.com/wmayner/pyemd ) but I keep getting the followin error message:

ERROR: PyError (:PyImport_ImportModule) ImportError('No module named emd',) File "/home/humberto/.julia/v0.5/Conda/deps/usr/lib/python2.7/pyemd/init.py", line 63, in from .emd import emd
in pyerr_check at /home/humberto/.julia/v0.5/PyCall/src/exception.jl:56 [inlined]
in pyerr_check at /home/humberto/.julia/v0.5/PyCall/src/exception.jl:61 [inlined]
in macro expansion at /home/humberto/.julia/v0.5/PyCall/src/exception.jl:81 [inlined]
in pyimport(::String) at /home/humberto/.julia/v0.5/PyCall/src/PyCall.jl:387

However, I am able to call python functions such as "Hello world" and I can use the module in a python environment. Do anyone knows a solution to this?

It seems you have not installed pyemd. Be careful, even if you installed pyemd through system's python, in your installation, PyCall uses local install of python by Conda package. Look at pyimport_conda function, it installs the package if not already installed and imports it.
