I was experimenting with the Python in Excel feature. When I try to import PYMC3, I get the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pymc3’. Is the PYMC3 module available in the Excel Python implementation?

The current version of PyMC is 5.18.0 and it has been imported as follows for at least the last 2 years:

```python
import pymc

```

Thank you for the reply. In a standard Python console I can import PYMC3 per your suggestion.However when I try and access it through the recently released python in excel function I still get this error. I can import pandas and numpy without a problem

I assume pandas and numpy come pre-installed while PyMC does not?
