Answer 1

You can activate and run a new conda environment in Google Colab by using the magic %%bash command:

%%bash
source activate myenv

python
import sys
# some simple python commands
sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages')
print(sys.path)

print("Python version")
print(sys.version)

Also including a few other commands I needed to run to get my environment setup completely:

!conda update conda -y -q
!source /usr/local/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
!conda init 
!conda install -n root _license -y -q
