this is my code :

```julia
using PyCall, Conda
pyexec = pyimport("KMeans_elbow")

```

this is the error:

```julia
ERROR: LoadError: PyError (PyImport_ImportModule

The Python package KMeans_elbow could not be found by pyimport. Usually this means
that you did not install KMeans_elbow in the Python version being used by PyCall.

PyCall is currently configured to use the Julia-specific Python distribution
installed by the Conda.jl package. To install the KMeans_elbow module, you can
use `pyimport_conda("KMeans_elbow", PKG)`, where PKG is the Anaconda
package the contains the module KMeans_elbow, or alternatively you can use the
Conda package directly (via `using Conda` followed by `Conda.add` etcetera).

Alternatively, if you want to use a different Python distribution on your
system, such as a system-wide Python (as opposed to the Julia-specific Python),
you can re-configure PyCall with that Python. As explained in the PyCall
documentation, set ENV["PYTHON"] to the path/name of the python executable
you want to use, run Pkg.build("PyCall"), and re-launch Julia.

) <class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>
ModuleNotFoundError("No module named 'KMeans_elbow'")

```

How do you use PyCall to call Pkg in Python (on Github)?thanks!

Taking a look at [this issue](https://github.com/JuliaPy/Conda.jl/issues/165) might be helpful. I’m pretty sure you’re going to have to `pip install` the package from GitHub, and according to the discussion in that issue there isn’t direct support for that in Conda.jl.

I’m a green hand at this.I’m still not sure how to do it.(For “PIP Install” you said)
