title: conda looking for library outside activate environment
body: <p>I am working on Windows, I find a difference in import behavior about conda created environment which I cannot understand, here the details</p>
  
  <p>Case 1 (Success)</p>
  
  <pre><code>(base) C:\&gt; conda activate &lt;env-name&gt;
  (env-name) C:\&gt; python
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import numpy
  (Success)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Case 2 (Fail)</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\&gt; cd &lt;path-to-conda-env&gt;
  C:\path-to-conda-env&gt; python
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import numpy
  (Fail)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I hit this issue with <code>ssl</code> package before, and it can be fixed by install the package from <code>conda-forge</code> rather then <code>default</code>, so it seem to be a issue with the package</p>
  
  <p>What trouble me is the import statement seem to be loading something outside my conda env as I checked <code>sys.path</code> and <code>sys.executable</code> is same in both case</p>
  
  <p>What I have missed here? Any input are welcome.</p>
  
  <p>Regards</p>
