MOSEK in one Conda environment causing error in another

Details for the issue

What did you do?

I have two Conda environment: snakemake- I set up this one first and had been using it without issue. It does not have MOSEK solver in it. aa - I recently set up this environment, and MOSEK was installed.

After aa is set up and MOSEK installed into it, I have the following error while trying to import pulp in snakemake:

>>> import pulp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

What did you expect to see?

Useful extra information

My guess is that perhaps I installed MOSEK into the base environment and had to remove it and reinstall into aa, or have some environment variables set or that I have the MOSEK license at ~/mosek/mosek.lic, MOSEK is detected by pulp in snakemake but imported as an empty script (per this issue https://groups.google.com/g/mosek/c/MB_-kH-mSaQ).

I changed this line to:

    except (ImportError, AttributeError):

And it seems to have solved the error.
